Noel Murray Los Angeles Times After the Bite isn’t an overtly activist documentary; it’s more quietly observational. Jul 31, 2023 Full Review John Anderson Wall Street Journal There are clashes of philosophy and practical action that need sorting out, and “After the Bite” treats both sides with respect. Jul 28, 2023 Full Review Nick Allen RogerEbert.com An impressive tapestry of conflicting perspectives—man and animal—that's far more entertaining and insightful than your average Shark Week fare. Rated: 3.5/4 Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex After the Bite displays compelling arguments from the many viewpoints expressed in the film, never leaving those speaking about their experience to appear weak or uninformed. Rated: 7/10 Aug 17, 2023 Full Review Stephen Silver Splice Today Comes at the Jaws formula from another angle, with a Weisman-style examination of a Cape Cod town, following a deadly shark attack. Rated: 4/5 Aug 11, 2023 Full Review John Serba Decider A remarkably detailed portrait of a community and ecosystem that are both out of balance – and is a microcosm for the eternal humans-vs.-nature conflict, of which there’s no greater example than that of global climate change.

Ted C A drag queen show makes an appearance at the midpoint of a shark documentary for some reason. That's about all you need to know. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 04/01/24 Full Review Katie M longest movie of my life. sharks are not evil, these people are . they have dreams about sharks, be so fr that never happened. i have never been so bored and disgusted in my entire life Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/19/23 Full Review Topi L Well thought and made documentary about sea's fears creatures, sharks. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/18/23 Full Review Megan e Really well done documentary! I wish they had gotten a bit more into the climate change issues. Worth watching! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Leah E I kept waiting to hear actual facts from experts. There's a lot of random people making claims and stating their opinions which is fine but then I prefer when evidence is presented alongside it. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Patrick S Starts out about sharks and meanders into different subjects. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
