After the Hunt - Review

Not Everything is Supposed to Make You Comfortable.

Review written by Jack Aling

After the Hunt is directed by Luca Guadagnino and written by Nora Garrett.

A college professor finds herself at a crossroads when a star pupil levels a sexual misconduct accusation against one of her colleagues, and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come to light.

After the highs of Challengers, I cannot believe how mundane Luca Guadagnino's

next film was.

After The Hunt has a lot to say, yet struggles to confidently get its words out. There are recognisable faces, strong performances and expert cinematography to distract you from the fact that it seems scared to answer any of the questions it lays out. Wildly cryptic considering the talent and subject matter at play.

Our verdict: 3 out of 5 stars.

After the Hunt arrives in UK cinemas 17 October 2025.
