	Author	Review
United States	Brian Tallerico rogerebert.com	"So many of the stories of 'After Parkland' are interesting enough that they could have sustained their own documentary (...) The film ends up having a cumulative effect"	POS
United States	Caryn James The Hollywood Reporter	"Intimate, sensitively made and moving (...) The film is ultimately less about politics or activism than about remembrance. Its most effective scenes are the most personal"	POS
United Kingdom	Adrian Horton The Guardian	"'After Parkland' smartly foregrounds the systemic reality of gun violence in America while never mentioning the shooter, focusing instead on healing without dramatization (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Owen Gleiberman Variety	"A documentary that chronicles the grief, anger, and storm of protest that gathered in the wake of the Parkland shooting, and the film records this experience in a moving and memorable way."	POS
United States	Robert Abele Los Angeles Times	"Taguchi and Lefferman find a sensitive, stirring approach to what has become an all-too-common documentary genre in our violent times: the aftermath film."	POS
United States	Dan Callahan The Wrap	"[A] well-meaning, touching, but sometimes evasive film."	POS
