Our take
Four years before Marriage Story, Belgian filmmaker Joachim Lafosse negotiated the domestic spaces of a relationship in ruins with the blistering After Love. A gauntlet of territorial recriminations sets the stage for a Bergman-esque enquiry into the battle scars, old and new, of a curdled love.
