| Die Burger Karla Janse van Vuuren | 15 |  |
| 24.com Herman Eloff  It's not one meant for frivolous watching but rather a treat for the sophisticated film connoisseur that's willing to delve a little deeper into the problematic topics tackled. With its top-class cast and well-written script, The Aftermath is a pure indulgence of the senses and an accomplished fulfilment of the craft. | 15 | |
| ScreenIt Jim Judy Overall, and notwithstanding the steamy sex scenes, this feels like an old wartime romantic drama you might accidentally stumble across while channel surfing, watch for a bit, and then move on, promptly forgetting everything you’ve just seen. Methinks the same will likely happen to this offering meaning there won’t be much notable aftermath after seeing it. | 9 |  |
