About This Movie

After the American Election (2018) is a fascinating exploration of the collective psyche following the 2016 election. It’s a documentary rooted in the dreams and reflections of Lucy Corin’s friends, making it feel very personal yet universally relevant. The pacing is contemplative, drifting through various interpretations of a world turned upside down. It captures a raw atmosphere, with speakers sharing their innermost thoughts, which often feels like a mix of surrealism and stark reality. The performances come off as genuine, each voice adding to the tapestry of confusion and hope. The film’s distinctive style lies in its unfiltered approach to the aftermath of a pivotal moment, a kind of dream journal of a nation in flux.
