After The Hunt stars Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield and tells the story of a sexual assault scandal on a college campus at Yale University
re you looking for a gripping psychological thriller to get lost in? Julia Roberts’ latest movie, After The Hunt, landed on Prime Video last week and it’s already storming the charts, currently sitting at the number one spot for most-streamed movie.
Released on 20 November, After The Hunt sees Julia play Alma, a college professor who becomes entangled in a sexual abuse scandal involving a student and her colleague.
Alongside the Hollywood stalwart, the film also stars Ayo Edebiri, Andrew Garfield, Michael Stuhlbarg and Chloë Sevigny.
This one has been on my watchlist ever since the first trailer dropped, and I’ve been counting down the days for it to arrive on Prime Video.
Not only does it feature three of Hollywood’s biggest names – Julia Roberts, Ayo Edebiri and Andrew Garfield – but it’s also directed by Luca Guadagnino, whose work I’ve loved ever since Call Me by Your Name with the wonderful Timothee Chalamet.
If you were a fan of Emerald Fennell’s Promising Young Woman, which explores a similar theme, this one is certainly worth tuning into.

Reacting to the news that the movie would be landing on Prime Video, viewers were quick to take to Instagram to share their love of the film. “Such a brilliant film. One of Guadagnino’s finest!” said one person, while another added: “What an amazing film. The visuals. The soundtrack. The story. Bravo.”
A third added: “Intense film that one cannot stop watching!”
