What Happens Later

The ending was awful. Such a waste of a fairly good movie up to that point :(

It feels like a love letter instead of a pop song. This movie takes a little patience—introspective and quiet—it’s more of an indie film blended with a rom com instead of a big budget blowout. That’s a good thing. The chemistry is great between them and the dialog is very naturally delivered. It isn’t cynical and follows the romantic format but the quieter nature makes it less cheesy than a lot of rom coms. I really like that the predictable tropes like the “best friend” etc aren’t there.

Just awful. It's hard to watch. The dialogue feels very forced. And, there's no conclusion - it's "open-ended." Movies that don't provide a conclusion with writers who claim they want the audience to "think for themselves" are just a waste of time in this genre. I think I wasted 90 minutes of my life. I think the writer was lazy. I think if I want to "think for myself" I'll go read a book

A tender-hearted and realistic romp of an evening with a dash of spiritual fantasy thrown in the mix. Meg Ryan is timeless with her romantic banter and quirk, still shining as brightly as ever before. Duchovny delivers an achingly-sweet performance that showcases re-establishing trust after heartbreak and authentic soul-growth. I found this film surprisingly deep, funny, and believe it appeals to so many individuals who have wondered “”what if” we could repair ruptures in our broken relationships?” The only thing that left me desiring more was that I wanted to see scenes outside of the airport. I was shocked at the end to see Meg Ryan also directed it! Well done, Meg!

This might be the worst movie I've ever sat through. It tried so hard to be sweet and earnest. I felt like it was an ill-conceived attempt at a Richard Linklater, "Before Sunrise", but it fell so short, that I was actually embarrassed for the actors. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME

Travesty of cinema and a sad attempt from Meg Ryan.

There were definitely moments of intense smiling, light laughing, but this dialogue is certainly more towards the dramatic. Basically director/producer/writer actress Meg Ryan and David Duchovny wandering through a small airport (which turns out to be in Arkansas) reminiscing on the "what if" they had stayed together. Of course it resonates with anyone, especially over 50, for whom it certainly is much more difficult to pick up where one left off at age 25. Though towards the end my wife got a bit antsy with the fact that noone else was involved except the voice over the intercom - always answering "yes" or giving some smirky remark - this held strong and made one very thoughtful towards the end. Chances are this couple will never meet again - and that's kind of frustrating, but understandable.

Of course it's not like old Meg Ryan films, they would feel dated now. It was a quiet and hopeful film. Not transformative but a nice respite from the chaos.

This movie is full of good dialogue, budding chemistry & somehow a well done weaved integration of current pop culture delivered in a soft & unique (elder) slightly cheesy in the good way rom com pov

I liked the seriousness with which the encounter between two people who loved one another a refreshing addition to the traditional rom- com formula. After all the intervening years and family/work demands, the spark that drew them together never went out. What makes it romantic, is that they can still feel their attraction and indulge it for awhile allowing them to reveal more of what caused them to forfeit their early relationship. What makes it comedic is the way the airport scenes goof on the soul-less atmosphere of airports.
