Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
The result is a delirious and challenging comedy, a postmodern Ulysses in Nighttown.

rotten:
Anxiety-ridden picture would have been pretty funny if it didn't play like a confirmation of everyone's worst fears about contemporary urban life.

fresh:
Scorsese's orchestration of thematic development, narrative structure, and visual style is stunning in its detail and fullness; this 1985 feature reestablished him as one of the very few contemporary masters of filmmaking.

fresh:
Inventive film-making of the first order.

fresh:
After Hours is not, ultimately, a satisfying film, but it's often vigorously unsettling. In this season of homogenized pap, that should be read as praise.
