After Sex Ratings & Reviews
Film Journal International
Kevin Lally
This raw, compelling drama of amour fou is an emotional tour de force for Roan.
Boxoffice Magazine
Ed Scheid
The film is dominated by the raw intensity of Rouan's performance.
Movieline
Stephen Farber
The French may imbue romantic and sexual turmoil with a bit too much sturm and drang, but at least they examine intimate emotions that Americans nervously avoid.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
A hauntingly honest and provocative look at what an all-consuming love can in fact consume.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
By the end of the film, we have come to admire Rouan's courage as a performer and a filmmaker, in following Diane's mania as far as it will go.
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
Weak, superficial, and unconvincing, it turns what could have been a searing experience into a trite, overwrought melodrama.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Rouan's writing, as far as can be judged from subtitles, is pointed and vital. Her performance is superb.
San Francisco Examiner
G. Allen Johnson
There's never a sense that anything's at stake for Diane; there don't seem to be any dire consequences of her actions.
Man Who Viewed Too Much
Mike D'Angelo
Don't make a movie about your own failed love affair, because no matter how painful and traumatic it may have been for you personally, it will seem maudlin and self-indulgent onscreen, especially if you cast yourself in the lead role.
Internet Reviews
Steve Rhodes
an unusual film about human sexual relations - both because it's told completely from the woman's perspective and because it shows graphically but always tastefully the heat of passion.
Compuserve
Harvey S. Karten
Wonderful at bringing out an adage repeated by Diane: 'When you're twenty and love goes wrong, you cry because you think you'll never love anyone again. After 40, you cry because it's far more likely that you never will again.'
E! Online
E! Staff
In the end, pursuit of shallow torrid sex can't fully explain her sketchy motivation for discarding her perfect life, but the tragic overtones are palpable throughout.
Deseret News (Salt Lake City)
Jeff Vice
As a director, Rouan benefits from some terrific performances, not the least of which is her own.
