An NYC Professor spends the week reconnecting with his family while defending his reputation over controversial behaviour at his college. Meanwhile, his family is determined to make an around-the-clock effort to support their Matriarch when she's admitted to Hospital not expected to survive. No one's handling this particularly well with each family member struggling with other problems of their own. This laugh-out-loud comedy is about how sometimes your crazy family can really come through, just when you need them the most.
Critic Reviews:
- " An even-tempered indie comedy, five parts late Woody Allen to one part 90s-period David Mamet. " – Peter Bradshaw (Guardian)
- " Time and again during “After Class,” Schechter makes pinpoint-accurate choices that are even more impressive when, after it's done, you replay the movie in your mind, and you realize what an exceptional piece of work it is. " – Joe Leydon (Variety)
- " We've seen many versions of this kind of story before, but there's something so spot-on and involving about the film, written and directed by Daniel Schechter… that it proves surprisingly refreshing. " – Gary Goldstein (Los Angeles Times)
