Buckle up, cinephiles—Luca Guadagnino is back, and this time he’s bringing the mind games.

The visionary director behind Call Me By Your Name and Bones and All returns with his latest knockout: After the Hunt, a razor-sharp psychological drama that’s about to have us all questioning trust, loyalty, and the skeletons we hide in our closets.

The film stars none other than Julia Roberts as a college professor whose seemingly steady world unravels when a brilliant student, played by rising star Ayo Edebiri, levels a shocking accusation against one of her colleagues—yes, that’s Andrew Garfield bringing the complicated charisma. Add in heavy-hitters Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny, and you’ve got a stacked cast ready to keep us on edge.

Written by newcomer Nora Garrett and powered by Guadagnino’s trademark intensity, After the Hunt promises to be more than just another thriller—it’s a pressure cooker of secrets, lies, and moral crossroads that’s equal parts haunting and irresistible.

🗓️ Mark your calendars: After the Hunt hits theaters in New York and LA on October 10, before expanding nationwide on October 17.

With an R-rating for language and some sexual content, you already know it’s not going to pull punches. And honestly, would you want it to?

Get ready—because not everything is supposed to make you comfortable.
