After the Hunt (2025)

Grating but engaging, you’ll need patience and capacity to tolerate a certain flavor of sanctimoniousness and pedantry to enjoy this one. However, if you do manage to stay with it, it actually has a thoughtful and cogent massage about power and discourse that cuts much deeper than some headlines written about this movie will have you believe. 

Julia Roberts carried hard here - it would have been a lot harder to watch Alma if it weren’t for the depth and mystique she brought to this character. Ayo Ediberi held her own as well. Casting Andrew Garfield in this role may have been a great move on a meta level too, because he does play arguably the most morally bankrupt character in this entire story, but somehow almost the least annoying just because he is so freaking charming. 

I don’t know if I can recommend this if you haven’t seen any movie in a while and want to watch something you want to be reasonably sure you’ll enjoy, but it would make for decent in-flight entertainment if it’s offered on a 3+ hour flight.
