The final installment in director Lucas Belvaux's trilogy follows Pascal, a cop who sees a return to credibility in the capture of escaped convict Bruno--who in turn is harbored by Pascal's morphine-addicted wife Agnes. Pascal's already precarious ties to Agnes are strained further when he meets and falls for her fellow schoolteacher friend Cecile. With Pascal focused on Bruno and Cecile, Agnes is forced to find a fix on her own.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Each movie casts light on the others. And after watching all three, a profound blending of the stories percolates in your head.

fresh:
If On the Run is the most riveting and shocking of the three, and An Amazing Couple the funniest and most engaging, After the Life is the most touching and dramatic.

[Blanc's] performance is as chilling as Lee Remick's in Days of Wine and Roses.

fresh:
While it functions independently as a sad, ultimately moving portrait of a deeply codependent couple, the film also emerges as the most richly resonant of The Trilogy.

fresh:
The Trilogy's amazing partnership is Agnes and Pascal's. With After the Life's tango of enabler and addict, Belvaux finally delivers emotional resonance.
