<em>'After Yang'</em> is a good movie, plain and simple. My only negative would be how slow paced it is, like I definitely get why it is portrayed the way it is and it has its benefits in certain moments. However, it did take me out of events onscreen here and there. That aside, it's a well made film; there's plenty to chew on in terms of what it's attempting to tell. Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja and Justin H. Min all do good work on the cast, while both the futuristic setting and the editing are further positives for this flick. I won't lie and say I loved it, because I didn't, but I'm glad I watched it.

Near future sci-fi that's a reflection not just on how our relationship with tech and AI might change, but also on how tech and AI can change our relationships with other people. Lots of dream like memory sequences with an effective soundtrack and visuals. Not bad, not great, a bit slow maybe.

I really liked what _After Yang_ was attempting to do. There was a really deep, interesting story about loss, but unfortunately the weight of the topic drowned this movie. The movie was barely 90 minutes long and it felt like eternity watching. The emotional impact was destroyed by the slow pacing. In my opinion, this movie had no business being as long as it did. There was not enough material in order to make a feature length film and would have been better suited at a short film. **Score:** _57%_ | **Verdict:** _Decent_
