"After the Fall" belongs to a type of movie that is too lazy to connect the dots and fill in the blanks between its supposedly teachable moments.
Stephen Holden, New York Times
Fresh
If you can avoid dwelling on its derivative qualities, "After the Fall" has its own case to make about how far the middle class has fallen - and continues to slide.
Sara Stewart, New York Post
Fresh
[The film] has much to recommend, including gorgeous New Mexico landscapes, sumptuous digital cinematography and -- as we might expect from Klein -- virtuoso editing.
Stephen Dalton, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
Scanlon's desperate dive into a life of armed robbery is simply not believable, despite Bentley's best efforts.
Danny King, Village Voice
