Reception
[edit]The film has a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews.[3]
Ken Jaworowski of The New York Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Some stronger filmmaking would be welcome, sure, but After Louie has an honesty that’s often just as valuable."[4]
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But while it’s well-intentioned to a fault, and driven by deep convictions, the film also is diffuse, lethargically paced and short on thematic trenchancy, building powerful individual moments but seldom sustaining a compelling narrative thread."[5]
Norman Gidney of Film Threat awarded the film two stars and wrote, "Even though the film has a plodding pace there are flashes of honesty and brilliance that make this film worth a passive look."[6]
