After – a new school romance movie aired on Netflix received a lot of attention thanks to its somewhat strange “origin” and content reminiscent of Fifty Shades Of Gray.

Her fanfic is so attractive that it has 544 million readers on Wattpad. Publisher Simon & Schuster took notice of the series and bought the rights.

By 2018, the novel was officially made into a movie and one of the project’s producers was famous actor Brad Pitt.

Critics were not enthusiastic about After. The film only scored 15% on Rotten Tomatoes because there were too many “excessive sexual” details. However, many young audiences love this movie very much. After is likened to Fifty Shades Of Gray (50 Shades) version 13+. The love story of the two main characters is sweet and dramatic, making young women “flutter”. Notably, the producer is also “aiming” to make a sequel this year.
