"Helene, caught like Jacob between lives, spends much of the film trying to explicate choices that now look only wrong."
PopMatters
Cynthia Fuchs
4/5
"A deeply intimate tale of regret and hope, with characters that will linger in your thoughts."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
2.5/4
"The wunderkind Jensen's scripts are all schematic and prone to stock characters, but they are soap operas after all, and
After the Wedding
is beautifully performed by its eager cast."
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
3/5
"Un buen ejemplo de cómo se puede hacer una película madura y atrapante con el mismo argumento base de una telenovela mexicana."
Uruguay Total

"In less accomplished hands might have been dismissed as mawkish and contrived, but...comes across as surprisingly honest and affecting."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
3/5
"A substantive film about an idealistic Danish aid worker who is forced to stretch his own capacities for love and compassion, directing them in new channels that surprise and challenge him."
Spirituality and Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
3/4
"This is a fine tale of families and secrets, and its seemingly cold exterior gives way to something unexpectedly warm and soft inside."
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
2.5/5

Palo Alto Weekly
Jeanne Aufmuth

Planet Sick-Boy
Jon Popick
"One of the more interesting themes of this movie is the question of which is more important to a cause, the man or the money."
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
A-
"...star Mads Mikkelsen is becoming internationally known and while he delivers another fine performance here it is Rolf Lassgård who proves the revelation as the billionaire with a huge hidden agenda."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
A-
"
After the Wedding's
anguished portrait of family, charity, and mortality peels back layers in the characters that defy their easy categorization."
Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema
Mark Pfeiffer
4/5
"Uma obra de intensa carga emocional."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
6/10
"Dark secrets eat away from within, but after 120 minutes of self-loathing this soapy tale fails to engage with either genuine mystery or genuine reconciliation."
Monsters and Critics
Ron Wilkinson
