That’s a big needle. Jus’ sayin’.
After.Life (2009) is a messy, rather limp tale of a funeral director who can talk to those who have died but are not yet dead, a just-dead school teacher, and one of her students, a young boy who seems to have the same gifts as the funeral director. Add in a grief-stricken boyfriend who is completely unbelievable as a lawyer, a dysfunctional family or two that could have been vastly more interesting, and an ambiguity that is no doubt meant to evoke questions about existence, but was just irritating, this movie is really only of interest to Liam Neeson and Christine Ricci completists.
