Critics' reviews

"'Hereafter' is a pensive saga that transcends death and lyrically examines our darkest fears and our most deeply held beliefs (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"

Claudia Puig: USA Today
"The film never is less than intriguing, right from its tour de force opening sequence, and often full of insights (...) the ending is a letdown. It's too facile"

Kirk Honeycutt: The Hollywood Reporter
"What would 'Gran Torino' 's Walt Kowalski say to such a limp and passive film? "Get off my screen"

Kyle Smith: New York Post
"It has the power to haunt the skeptical, to mystify the credulous and to fascinate everyone in between (...) an unusual experience and an open-ended inquiry into something nobody can really claim to understand"

A. O. Scott: The New York Times
"The film has distinctive ambitions, visits unusual places and creates a special mood that are somewhere in the neighborhood of haunting"

Todd McCarthy: IndieWire
"[It] considers the idea of an afterlife with tenderness, beauty and a gentle tact. I was surprised to find it enthralling (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"

Roger Ebert: rogerebert.com
"A beguiling blend of the audacious and the familiar; it dances right on the edge of the ridiculous and at times even crosses over, but is armored against risibility by its deep pockets of emotion"
