If history is only written by winners it will always only be half-true. The Aftermath is an essay about the other half, blending sufficient historical insight into a romantic drama to hold our interest without emotional sledgehammers. There are minor lapses of pace, maybe a narrative digression or two that dilutes momentum; but overall, this is a satisfying film that takes an uncommon view on unexplored cinematic territory.

The Aftermath is a sloppy piece of storytelling, with subplots that are nowhere near as fleshed out as they really should be. Read more

The Aftermath heeft voldoende potentie, maar komt door een vlak script maar niet tot leven. De gekozen achtergrond, met een platgebombardeerd Hamburg, is indrukwekkend, maar krijgt eigenlijk niet de aandacht die het verdient. Read more

Het zijn dit soort achtergronden die sturing bieden in een film die zich vrij gemakzuchtig toespitst op vlakke intriges. Read more
