The Aftermath (2019)

At least this film kept my attention the whole time.
Based on a book (as there was no other reason for this to become a film), Rachael Morgan (the always great Keira Knightley) arrives in Hamburg, to join her army officer husband, Louis (Jason Clarke) in his post-war position, trying to regain control of a broken Germany.
Germany suffered greatly, as did every other country in Europe, and Rachael is not happy to be there, sharing a mansion with a former architect, Stefan Lubert (Alexander Skarsgaard), a German. Stefan is also healing from a broken heart, as his wife was killed by a bomb. Rachael and Lewis also have a broken marriage, though not mentioned until more than an hour into the film, it is heavily implied earlier, Rachael and Lewis's young son was killed by a bomb also, in London. And Lewis went back to work right after the funeral.
Rachael goes from not talking to Stefan and being downright rude and pissed that she has to share a house with him and his daughter (Flora Li Thiemann), to having table sex with him which turns into a full on illicit affair.
That is not the problem with the film. The problem is Freda, Stefan's teenager daughter, who for whatever reason, starts skipping school and hangs out with a bunch of orphans who believe Hitler's propaganda and secretly plot to kill the British officers.
So everything comes to a head when Freda's new rebel boyfriend, Albert (Jannik Schumann) tries to assassinate Lewis but misses.
Despite her role as Freda likely helped with the conspiracy, nothing is done to punish her. Instead, the following day, as planned Stefan and Freda leave to go to Switzerland. Rachael nearly goes with them, but changes her mind at the last minute and goes back to her husband. Personally, I felt that she shouldn't have gone with either of them. Sure, Lewis was in deep pain and could barely look at his wife as she reminded him so much of their dead son, but he wasn't there when she needed him and didn't voice his feelings until the last moment.
Now, while this film did hold my attention and was well done, I didn't like the teenager romance subplot as it wasn't given the time and attention it deserved and surely Stefan would realize Freda wasn't attending school. That plot hole is just too big to ignore. And while all three lead performances are good, Stefan sometimes looks at Rachael as though she's a piece of meat, waiting to be devoured by him. Which is a shame. Keira Knightley deserves better than both of these men. Grade: B
Side Notes:
-That one scene takes coitus interruptus to a whole new level.
-Rachael certainly has a lot of clothes in that one little suitcase. She never wears an outfit twice.
