After Everything

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

It's certainly not a masterpiece but I calmly believe it's a beautiful romantic film even if it's banal

After Everything Having read the books, I chose to remain loyal to this franchise despite the subpar acting. It wouldn't be inaccurate to label this installment as the finest in the series. Firstly, let's talk about the soundtrack. It seamlessly transitions from delicate to moody and then to thrilling as the movie progresses. Whoever curated it deserves commendation for their work. If Portugal needs a tourism ad, After Everything delivers that. We're navigated through beautiful landscapes and natural sights. The acting from the cast isn't better or worse, but there's a level of maturity in the portrayal that makes it seem better. Mimi Keene is undoubtedly the star here. Josephine Langford is missing for most of this finale as the story focuses on Hardin. Hardin broods his way to redemption, even though we can't definitively say he's a changed man because the movie ultimately utilizes a time jump. Nonetheless, fans of Tessa and Hardin will undoubtedly rejoice to witness their eventual reconciliation. We can take solace in the fact that this franchise has reached its conclusion, at least for now, disregarding the prequel and sequel reportedly in development. It's a relief to see the main storyline come to an end. 5/10

Feels rushed on "location" to get the movie done and story was some clichés. Not special at all.
