TOMATOMETER
AFTER THE STORM, a sublimely simple family drama from the Japanese writer-director Hirokazu Kore-eda, unfolds amid the sweltering heat of an unusually active Pacific typhoon season.
Los Angeles Times
Mar 16, 2017
[If the] early passages feel uncommonly unmoored for Kore-eda, it’s because he’s at his best in moments of togetherness, an artist who believes in the power of family without advocating for a return to the womb.
Film Comment
Mar 3, 2017
3.5 stars out of 4 -- AFTER is as delicately balanced as any film Kore-eda has made, a film that seems to not have much action or momentum but finds cumulative emotional power.

[Mr. Kore-eda] works in a quiet cinematic register....Slow-paced, sad, rueful and sometimes warmly funny, AFTER THE STORM is one of his sturdiest, and most sensitive, constructions.
New York Times
Mar 15, 2017
A small-scale, satisfying human drama that backs gradually into larger matters, AFTER THE STORM is the latest deceptive miniature from Japan’s Hirokazu Kore-eda.
Boston Globe
Apr 6, 2017
4 stars out of 5 -- Hirokazu Koreeda’s bittersweet comedy about three generations of a Japanese family is a gentle delight. It’s a film that makes eloquent use of the architecture, emotional and physical, of the family home.
The Guardian

Koreeda is deeply fond of his characters, and he never tires of letting them find measures of bliss in small things and compromises.
