“From visionary filmmaker Luca Guadagnino, After the Hunt is a gripping psychological drama about a college professor (Roberts) who finds herself at a personal and professional crossroads when a star student (Edebiri) levels an accusation against one of her colleagues (Garfield), and a dark secret from her own past threatens to come into the light.”

Luca Guadagnino’s After The Hunt Trailer

The first trailer opens with a sharp exchange between Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield’s characters, sparring over generational divides as Julia Roberts’ character looks on with a hint of amusement.

“All your generation, you’re scared of saying the wrong thing,” Garfield says. “When did offending someone become the preeminent cardinal sin?”

“Maybe it’s around the same time your generation began making sweeping generalizations about ours,” Edebiri fires back. Speaking at CinemaCon in April, Edebiri described After the Hunt as the kind of film meant to ignite conversation.
