Moviegoers are saying
This provocative academic drama has audiences deeply divided over its intentionally ambiguous approach to serious subject matter, with some praising its 'gonzo comedy of manners' that skewers moral posturing while others find it frustratingly self-indulgent. The film focuses on characters navigating sexual misconduct allegations through the lens of academic politics and self-preservation rather than making direct social commentary.

Everyone on here seems desperate to decode this movie as some kind of MeToo parable or moral reckoning, as if the film is secretly ashamed of its own ambiguity. But that’s the joke, you dopes - it’s ABOUT having nothing to say and the frantic social performance of…

Lexi AmorielloOct 15, 2025Not surprised at all by how intensely people are bouncing off this, the subject matter obviously invites specific readings of/distastes for the film when it surely would be easier to swallow as a melodrama without that. I still really enjoyed it because it makes the…

- Clay Werner is "meh" onAfter the Hunt
5.3 - I’ve sat on this review for too long; I just couldn’t bring myself to even figure out my thoughts. It was a slog at its over two hour run time. It’s overwritten & excessively pretentious, while focused on a topic that has unfortunately been almost completely depleted in today’s climate. It…
Cami is "meh" onAfter the HuntLa verdad no sé q me pareció, me tuvo sin entender nada la mayor parte de la peli, pensando que iba para un lado para el otro, supongo q logró su cometido pero se me hizo muy larga y aburrida por partes, mucho diálogo que parecía no llegar a nada, al final es como que sí pero no
Benny likedAfter the HuntMy likes outweigh the bad here, from the detailed academic world to the ambiguous ending. The performances reel you in as the story goes, especially Julia Roberts. It can sometimes feel frustrating, but at least the film forces you to think deeper. 6.5
- Mak2TheMax dislikedAfter the Hunt
Unfortunately felt underwhelming, largely unnecessary and I walked away without an understanding of the characters motives or any interest in any of their stories. The musical score was also disappointing and quite jarring. However was very nicely shot.
sarah wolff likedAfter the Huntluca guadagnino, trent reznor & atticus ross are THE power duo (trio??). love the acting from all ayo, julia, andrew, and michael! very prevalent message, great camera work and i love the focus on body language!
Eye Cinc lovedAfter the HuntGuadagnino does a Woody Allen but without losing his style. Either way, the film works... but it will surely leave several people smarting because of its critique.
- BENNY likedAfter the Hunt
7/10 After the Hunt is a tense thriller where a professor’s hidden past comes back to haunt her. Suspenseful, dramatic, and full of twists.
Rufus Clarke lovedAfter the Huntsuper uncomfortable
Jake likedAfter the HuntYeah I think it was a little too long and I can’t exactly put my finger on the message behind the film, but I still really had a good time. The cinematography is so great. A lot of really wonderful camera shots that really show how much Guadagnino loves film. It seems divisive, but I also really…

After the Hunt has been made with a fair amount of craft and intrigue, but it’s also a weirdly muddled experience — a tale that’s tense and compelling at times, but dotted with contrivances and too many vague unanswered questions. That’s why, in the end, it’s a less than satisfying movie.

After the Hunt might be confused, and it might even be unsatisfying — but it also refuses to coddle anyone, and that feels like some sort of victory.

As riveting as she is, Roberts ultimately is ill-served by a film so studiously cryptic that it ends up just frustrating. To be fair, there are several electric confrontations, distributed evenly enough to ensure that After the Hunt remains absorbing. But even so, this is a date movie to be used in relationship sabotage maneuvers.
