'The Aftermath': Everything you need to look out for in the upcoming Ridley Scott-produced movie

The movie is set in the post-war era and will look at how the war impacted families and relationships.
PUBLISHED FEB 28, 2019

Movies having a backdrop of World War II have mostly managed to attract both critics and viewers but not all of them have succeeded in an authentic portrayal of the era. Movies like 'The Pianist', 'The Boy in the Striped Pajamas', 'Schindler's List', and even 'Atonement' are quite the exceptions to this case. Their subtle take on the petrifying aftermath of the war and its subsequent disintegration have been their major scoring points, but unfortunately, that cannot be said about the upcoming movie, 'The Aftermath', directed by James Kent.

However, if 'Atonement' has looked at how war can affect relationships, 'The Aftermath' is set to look at what war has left behind in relationships. Based on the titular novel by Rhidian Brook, Fox Searchlight Pictures had acquired the film reportedly back in 2016, and the film was set to be directed by Kent from a screenplay written by Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse, with Ridley Scott handling production duties, under his Scott Free Productions banner. As the film is set to hit theatres in March, here's everything that you need to know about the movie set amidst the ruins of a war.
