✍️ The article reviews Luca Guadagnino's new drama film, After the Hunt, which explores the fallout of an accusation of sexual harassment at a prestigious university.
👉 The film explores the themes of power, privilege, and the mechanics of the persecution industrial complex. 👉 The protagonist, Alma Olsson, is a complex character with a nuanced portrayal by Julia Roberts. 👉 The film features a talented cast, including Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri, and is shot with reverence and affection for its actors' performances. 👉 The script is literal-minded about unveiling motivations, which can make the characters feel like chess pieces. 👉 The film's surfaces are absorbing, but don't conceal much, and the issue may be that Guadagnino is too complacent as a dramatist to really provoke.
