After.Life

I hated this! It’s a grim, morbid, depressing waste of time with no artistically redeeming value at all. It boggles the mind how this got made! And with Liam Neeson and Christina Ricci! The hint of an original premise and the great cast made me want to see it at AFI Fest. I wish I hadn’t. I’m positively flummoxed by how the pretentious European filmmakers GOT financing for this! How did they cast Ricci, Neeson, and Justin Long? Who will distribute this? It’s a practical joke on the audience. Bits of the premise had potential. The cast is game. But YEECH! I needed a shower! One silver lining: Ricci is nude through a large portion of the movie and she’s alluring as always. It’s too bad it’s a freaky, masturbatory necrophilia fantasy for the filmmakers.
