Critical Response On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 32% based on reviews from 19 critics. Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore gave the film a grade "C+" on scale of A to F. Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times said, "Before and After is a long, slow slog through a story about a family crisis that is largely the fault of the family itself — especially the hot-tempered but loving father, who makes a series of crucial mistakes. It's one of those movies where you want to call out helpful advice to the screen, which would save the characters a lot of trouble."
