AFTER THE WEDDING
As if driven by an inescapable force, Isabel (Michelle Williams) has devoted her life to running an orphanage in a Calcutta slum. With funds running dry, a potential donor, who requires she travel from India to New York, to deliver a presentation in-person, contacts Isabel. At first balking at the demand of an uncommitted philanthropist, she relents, and travels to a city she deliberately hasn't returned to in over two decades.
Once in New York, Isabel uncomfortably awaits her meeting with the orphanage's possible benefactor,
Theresa Young (Julianne Moore), a multi-millionaire media mogul. From the glittering skyscraper where she runs her successful business, to the glorious Oyster Bay estate, where she lives happily with her artist husband, Oscar Carlson (Billy Crudup), 21-year-old daughter, Grace (Abby Quinn), and eight-year-old twins, Theo and Otto, Theresa's life couldn't appear to be more perfect. But appearances are only skin deep, and Isabel and Theresa have more in common than meets the eye.
While Isabel thinks she'll soon be returning to her beloved orphanage, Theresa has other plans. She insists Isabel attend Grace's wedding at the family's estate. The joyful event becomes a catalyst for a revelation that upends the lives of both women, and the people who love them most.
With the same quiet depth and intensity found in Ordinary People and Terms of Endearment, AFTER THE WEDDING celebrates the complex, transformative power of the most primal of human connections, as well as the ever-expanding definition of what makes a family.

I enjoyed the film. Nice to see a different story line and ending to the norm ..
Enjoyable film with some good acting
Enjoyable.
Strong performances by Moore and Williams. Storyline a little weak, ok for a light watch.
Enjoyable film but a bit slow
Story slow to build, but surprisingly well told and wondering acting by Julianne Moore.
Not as tense or emotive as it tries to be, but Julianne Moore is fabulous
Great movie
Loved the movie! Great acting performance. Plot is interesting and unexpected.
Great Film and Michelle Williams was amazing
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Great acting and scenery. The story line was interesting, unique and seemed like a challenge to adapt from the original.
Thoroughly enjoyed After the Wedding film. Superb cast made this so believable it had me in tears and laughter feeling every emotion! This is a must see movie!
I absolutely loved this movie. So thought provoking. Desperate times call for desperate measures and I love how Moore's character orchestrated her desires. Sad, certainly, but on another level so powerful.
great acting
It was very good movie.
A bit slow to start with but thoroughly enjoyable. I real tear jerker.
Not for me
Unique story with the outstanding performance of the actors
Beautiful, sad film about the concept of family.
Thought provoking and powerful contrasting of two worlds.
JUlianne Moore is always interesting to watch, and I notice that she is one of the producers, as well as star, of this one, so it must have been something she really wanted to do. As expected, she is excellent, but, then, so is everyone else. The story is always engrossing, and it has a denouement near the end which suddenly makes sense of what appeared to be a highly-unlikely coincidence which sets the story in train. A satisfying evening.... recommended.
This was an engrossing movie. The plot was intriguing and characters who seemed to be likeable soon showed themselves to be motivated by self-interest. The acting was excellent. The ending where Isobel invites the little boy to return with her to New York suggested that she needed the boy more than the boy needed her.
Very thought-provoking
Had enjoyed the Danish film that this was adapted from. A good ‘thinking’ film, with great music.
Very powerful, more than one twisty and turn. Well acted. Michele Williams is effortless in the role.Starts off a little slow. Definitely recommend.
This movie did a great job of showing the many facets of human characters in an emotionally charged context. An unexpected tearjerker.
An amazingly heartfelt movie with fantastic actors!
Very moving and thought provoking film. Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore are brilliant. Wonderful Indian scenery.
Touched quite a few nerves for me, adoption, loss.......
Great acting, nice popcorn flick
Part character study, part meditation on the nature of love, this drama is carried by the intense and riveting performances of Moore and Williams. Beneath the glossy surface is a measured tension prevailing until the unexpected climax. Perhaps it doesn't succeed in connecting audiences emotionally to the characters but it does invite viewers to ask questions of it. It's a thought-provoking and engaging film.
Good but rather sad
First movie in a long time that moved me by the originality of its storyline and the depth and reality of the characters.
The acting was amazing and visuals were gorgeous. But, the story was way too slow for my liking. Plus, there were constant blurred shots. The ending was anti climactic.
Good film & very emotional
Quite a sad movie, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Interesting film beautifully shot. Plot seemed not to resolve everything and left a number of questions open at the end. Not particularly satisfying.
Good film, but the plot was a little weak. Great cast
I really enjoyedd this thought provoking film.
Great movie and actors
Moving story that was unexpected
Not sure what to make of this movie. There seemed to a few loose ends. A good drama nonetheless
Deeply moving and poignant film. Guaranteed to touch your heart.
A very moving story
Enjoyed the movie but felt it lacked something. The story was a little implausible and there were a number of questions left unanswered at the end. Good performances throughout and I liked the music.
Exceeded expectations. Unassuming, but thought provoking script.
Well acted with wonderful scenery, however weak storyline that was far fetched at times
Interesting story with good actors.
Slow to develop and rather melancholy material, this film stars the amazing Julianne Moore and has some interesting concepts around love, adoption and family.
A film about sacrifice and love. Deeply moving and quite sad but hope prevails.
A powerful story that is well acted and keeps you interested in its emotional twist and turns.
Highly recommend it.
