When Jenny Gage took on the task of directing the first After movie, she brought a brand new outlook to the story. Plus, amid Tessa discovering her possible infertility, and Hardin breaking down in her arms after the betrayal of his mother, both actors gave heart-wrenching portrayals that audiences could feel, rather than just see. Beyond that, each exchange among characters felt like a bona fide conversation, instead of a bunch of actors simply presenting a scene. But here, in lieu of Tessa and Hardin’s many clashes going from a 2 to a 10 instantaneously, their disputes slowly progressed into natural-sounding arguments, like actual human beings.
The couple is known for their constant fights, and as exhibited in their eccentric screaming matches of After We Collided, what was already a toxic mess was seen as a poorly executed toxic mess on behalf of both the performers and the second movie’s director Roger Kumble, who'd also directed 1999's Cruel Intentions.
She’s never felt so intensely for anyone, so exhilarated by someone’s kiss-but is the irrepressible heat between her and Hardin worth all the drama? Love used to be enough to hold them together.Though After may be an easy target for slander, there’s no denying that the third film showed off the actors’ best performances so far. This cycle of jealousy, unpredictable anger, and forgiveness is exhausting. Tessa knows Hardin loves her and will do anything to protect her, but there’s a difference between loving someone and being able to have them in your life. And rather than being understanding, he turns to sabotage. The one person she should be able to rely on, Hardin, is furious when he discovers the massive secret she’s been keeping.
Revelations about first her family, and then Hardin’s, throw everything they knew before in doubt and makes their hard-won future together more difficult to claim. Just as Tessa makes the biggest decision of her life, everything changes.
