AFTER EVERYTHING

Watchable. Hero Fiennes Tiffin co-produced this part. The movie wittily reminds you of his earlier impersonation, when his mate remarks:  "Look who's risen from the dead" - dejected Hardin looks like the zombie from the actor's earlier flick "The Loneliest Boy in the World". The 5th "After" film is about the best. Hardin makes amends, pines over his lost love. His father finally has a role to play too, adding meaning to the story and the character. Shot in Portugal and Bulgaria, it has a holiday feel. Glam cinematography, riches make for a pleasant viewing. Flashbacks help refresh the story after years. The last scene though, with Josephine Langford in a wig, as Tessa pregnant and with a kid welcoming dad home is cringeworthy. It detracts from the raunchy and touching love story.
