Reception
The film has a 75% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on twelve reviews.
Ken Jaworowski of The New York Times gave the film a positive review and wrote, "Some stronger filmmaking would be welcome, sure, but After Louie has an honesty that’s often just as valuable."
David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a negative review and wrote, "But while it’s well-intentioned to a fault, and driven by deep convictions, the film also is diffuse, lethargically paced and short on thematic trenchancy, building powerful individual moments but seldom sustaining a compelling narrative thread."
Norman Gidney of Film Threat awarded the film two stars and wrote, "Even though the film has a plodding pace there are flashes of honesty and brilliance that make this film worth a passive look."
