Recommandations

IndieWire
In its way, this small, handcrafted, and immaculately well-realized feature challenges the limited way that movies tend to depict loss. - 90
The New York Times
Elegantly shot on film by Chris Teague, the movie feels unforced and at times shockingly authentic, allowing its emotions to percolate and rise of their own volition. - 90
New York Magazine (Vulture)
The performances could hardly be better — with the exception of O’Dowd, who’s good but maybe needed to find just one redeeming moment. (The writers could have helped.) As for Andie McDowell, I haven’t changed my thinking about her amateurish work in almost everything but "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," but I also see that with the right material her inward demeanor can be powerful. - 88
RogerEbert.com
This first-time feature from writer/director Russell Harbaugh has an understated, intimate, pointillist style, with a cool jazz score that matches its improvisational tone. - 80
The Hollywood Reporter
Elegant and unsentimental, this is a minor-key, wintry ensemble piece with an emotional hold that sneaks up on you. - 80
Variety
Bolstered by superb lead turns from Chris O’Dowd and Andie MacDowell, as well as a formal structure that enhances the roiling emotions propelling its characters into a downward spiral, Love After Love is an assured debut feature that announces its writer-director as a formidable new American indie voice - 80
Village Voice
The cast is intoxicating. - 75
Movie Nation
Co-writer/director Russell Harbaugh has created a chamber tragedy, intimate in its dimensions, devastating in the damage we see spiral out of that one death.
