.DeadlinePete reviews AfterTheWedding starring Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams
If you are going to remake an Oscar-nominated film from a world-class, Oscar-winning director like Susanne Bier, you might as go all in and, pulling off a compelling gender switch from the Danish original and casting two world-class actors in the form of his wife, Julianne Moore, and Michelle Williams to make it sing.is a strikingly well-acted, at times overly melodramatic story of a complicated connection involving Moore’s husband Oscar and the two women.
This movie is sort of an old-fashioned throwback to what used to be called “women’s pictures” in a bygone age. We’ve seen this kind of thing before, but Freundlich has cooked it just right, smartly focusing on the human toll of the story. It will play well with older audiences who are slower to come out to the multiplex.
Williams plays Isabel, the manager of an orphanage in India, who’s mysteriously summoned to New York City to meet with a potential major donor. That person turns out to be busy and obsessed executive Theresa , who is a driven career person but also married happily to Oscar. They have kids and a seemingly normal life.
