What Happens Later

It's incredibly contrived and it really shouldn't work, but kind of does.

Meg Ryan is back, in a rom-com! [...] And that idea, unfortunately, is as good as it gets.

Aims to be an adorably quirky romcom but plays out as such a surreally purgatorial ordeal that at one point I found myself wondering, Wait, are they actually dead? Am I? Is this what hell looks like?

The cloud of dissatisfaction I felt after watching it kept trying to reshape its molecules into a better movie, albeit one that could live only in my head.

The key is understanding that nobody makes it to that age without handling as much baggage as an airport. That’s what makes Ms. Ryan’s second directorial effort a surprising treat.

The chemistry between Duchovny and Ryan takes flight long before the planes are ready to board.

…something of a minor gem for fans of Meg Ryan and David Duchovny and in particular for Nora Ephron fans&#59; the bitter-sweet What Happens Later could work as a Christmas movie, although like Die Hard, it absolutely never stops working all year round too…


It feels like a night at the airport: it's uncomfortable, boring, long, dark, with nothing to do, and only a few occasional fun moments that make you think that maybe one day you'll remember it with some fondness. [Full review in Spanish]

The film deals with a script overloaded with metaphors but ultimately finds a certain truth in its bittersweet look at the comforting and frustrating feelings that stem from memories of love. [Full review in Spanish]
