The Aftermath (2019)
The Aftermath (2019)
2019 | Drama, Romance, War
Yet another Keira Knightley costume drama about well-brought-up people grappling with their repressed emotions. This one is set in post-war Germany where KK is an army wife reunited with her officer husband (Jason Clarke doing an English accent), but she ends up knocking off the German widower (Alexander Skarsgard) whose house they have commandeered.

Decent production values but the performances aren't good enough to lift a story which feels trite, hackneyed and inconsequential. No sense of passion or danger, hard to care about anyone or anything in the movie; it's just incredibly dull and predictable.

I didn't know much about this film before I saw it but heard critics and fans a like giving great reviews about it. A father and former part of the military police goes in search of his son who has gone AWOL after returning home from Iraq.
This is a great film, with a very good cast giving great performances especially Tommy Lee Jones and Charlize Theron. It touches on quite a few political views about the army and war in Iraq and the effects it can have. A truly moving film based on true events.

It's so funny (2 more)
It uses humour to make light of such an awful situation
It shows the importance of relationships when in such a dangerous situation.
It's only 3 series :( (1 more)
The ending has been left open ended, WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?!!
A funny take on a serious matter
I like this because it is based on something that people actually do. Even though they make light of the situation they find themselves in, it really helps you understand what people in the Army go through, the danger they are in every day, the sheer bravery and the emotional impact it has on them.
