Hereafter


Hereafter
Clint takes a look at life after death. The storyline weaves three separate strands which eventually come together at a book fair in London. A San Francisco psychic has retired from communicating with the dead to try to attain a normal life; he fends off the attentions of those seeking his help. In London, a boy loses his twin brother to a car accident and mopes about, trying to find a psychic to keep him in touch while his mother goes through alcohol rehab and his foster parents try to cope with him. In Paris, a female reporter who survived a tsunami and near-death experience, becomes convinced she paid a brief visit to the afterlife and is determined to write about it, wrecking her career in the process.

Box Office
Vadim Rizov quote iconUltimately, Hereafter's virtues are all Eastwood's: that makes it a prime autuerist test case, which makes it a film for very specialized viewers indeed.

Chicago Sunday Times
Roger Ebert quote iconHis film embodies how love makes us need for there to be an afterlife. It is the film of a man at peace. He has nothing to prove except his care for the living.

Peter Travers quote iconHereafter, set to a resonant Eastwood score, truly is haunting.

ScreenIt
C. Fuchs quote iconThe viewer is likely to be left with the impression that -- beyond a spectacular opening -- they really haven't witnessed or experienced anything and thus are back at square one in terms of answers, insight or just some degree of entertainment regarding the Hereafter.

Tomatometer quote iconDespite a thought-provoking premise and Clint Eastwood's typical flair as director, Hereafter fails to generate much compelling drama, straddling the line between poignant sentimentality and hokey tedium.
