After the Wedding (Danish: Efter brylluppet) is a 2006 Danish-Swedish drama film directed by Susanne Bier and starring Mads Mikkelsen and Sidse Babett Knudsen.

With a small staff, he works as hard as he can to keep the orphanage afloat and is personally invested in the young charges—particularly Pramod, whom he has cared for since his birth.

Jacob departs for Denmark; once there he's greeted by a driver and a young man named Christian and checked into a luxurious suite paid for by the corporation.

During Anna's speech at the marriage festivities, Jacob learns that she isn't Jörgen's biological daughter; his suspicion that she might be his own is confirmed by Helene the next day.

At first, Jacob cannot comply, thinking of Pramod and the other children who have been part of his life for so long; he also resents the implication that he could be bought by Jörgen.

The site's critical consensus reads, "The cast brings After the Wedding's melodramatic script to life, creating a movie that is emotionally raw and satisfying.

"[8] Metacritic gave the film a weighted average score of 78 out of 100, based on 29 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews".

While Schickel saw the film as possibly "old-fashioned stylistically, and rather manipulative in its plotting", he also saw "something deeply satisfying in the way it works out the fates of its troubled, yet believable characters.

In February 2018, actress Julianne Moore and writer-director husband Bart Freundlich announced plans to remake After the Wedding for an English-speaking audience, taking place in New York and India.
