Reviews

Holds Up!

"Still as disturbing as it was upon release - mores given the real-life dispute of its star. Great to have a new commentary track and the slip builds off the original theatrical artwork nicely."

— Timothy E. (4/5)

Intense High School Drama

"Afterschool is a quiet, unsettling drama that captures the detached, hyper-mediated world of modern adolescence. Ezra Miller gives a subtle, internal performance that perfectly fits the film’s restrained tone. It’s slow and deliberately distant, but that cold, observational style makes its moments hit even harder."

— Shawn M. (5/5)

Afterschool

"A worthy blind buy."

— Ryan F. (4/5)

2008. Early days of social network

"Afterschool, directed by Antonio Campos, is a cold and unsettling look at adolescence shaped by media, isolation, and emotional detachment. The film follows a quiet prep school student who becomes an accidental witness to a tragedy, capturing it on video and then struggling to process what he has seen. Campos presents the story in a restrained, almost clinical style, using long takes and minimal dialogue to emphasize discomfort and distance, while subtly critiquing how young people consume and replicate disturbing imagery in the digital age. The Blu-ray release from IFC Films offers a clean and faithful presentation that suits the film’s intentionally stark aesthetic. The clarity of the image enhances the carefully composed framing and the sense of detachment that runs throughout the film, without softening its harsh tone. As a physical release, it helps preserve a key early work from Campos, giving viewers the chance to revisit or discover a film that quietly stands apart from more conventional coming-of-age dramas."

— Jaume M. (5/5)

Great one, get it!

"Had to get this one as it had Ezra Miller and Jeremy Allen White in it. While Ezra might not be the best human I really enjoy some of his films especially We Need to Talk About Kevin so this one I had never heard of itrigued me. Pretty slow film but very well shot and loved it along with the great extras."

— Casey K. (4/5)

Not as jarring as I had hoped. . .

"I'm sure if "common folk" watch AFTEESCHOOL they will be running for their Facebook to post their concern. What I saw was a rather pedestrian snapshot of highschool (and college). . . rich girls, drugs, losers. I watched this with a "what's the big deal" vibe. Wanted to like it more but just less interesting than life was. For fans of KIDS."

— Nathan I. (3/5)

Goddamn Ezra Miller always plays

"Goddamn Ezra Miller always plays the creepy psycho so well. Like the prequel to Wr Need To Talk About Kevin. Very realistic film. Great release with great sound and a beautiful transfer."

— Bryan K. (5/5)

Disturbing indie flick

"Ezra miller makes his debut in this restrained psychological drama. He encounters two girls who are having a drug overdose and happens to capture it on film. Afterschool certainly predicted the future with kids being exposed to massive Amounts of adult and violent content online. How it can affect/desensitize them. The movie is restrained and slow paced which may be off putting. But I appreciated that choice. Realistic acting from the young leads and ignorant adults. Paints a clear picture of real life dynamics. Recommended with caution as it can be difficult to watch things unfold."

— Maximillian G. (5/5)

Important Debut

"Nice to see Antonio Campos's debut film finally get a BD release. Makes a good companion with the Simon Killer release from a few years ago."

— Ryan B. (5/5)

Ezra Miller

"Woah this was a wild ride. A young Ezra miller turning in a stellar performance. I can see how this little indie inspired many big budget films to come. It’s dark material but presented in a palpable way. Highly recommend this walk on the dark side."

— Casey C. (5/5)
