Any new movie from the multi-award-winning queer filmmaker Luca Guadagnono is a major event in our eyes. The genius behind some gems, such as Queer, Call Me By Your Name, I Am Love etc, never fails to totally delight us,  and too often leaves us spellbound.  We know so little of the man, but the fact is that actors and creatives go back to work with him time after time.  His latest film, the thriller  AFTER THE HUNT, has actors Chloe Sevigny and Michael Stuhlbarg making their 3rd appearance in a Guadagnino film. 

However, this is  Academy Award Winner Julia Roberts‘ first time, and she stars as Alma, a college professor caught between a sexual abuse accusation involving one of her students and a colleague. Michael Stuhlbarg is  Frederik Olsson, Alma’s psychiatrist husband:   Andrew Garfield as Henrik “Hank” Gibson, Alma’s colleague and close friend who is accused of assault:  Chloë Sevigny as Dr. Kim Sayers, the university’s student liaison and Alma’s friend : and Ayo Edebiri as Margaret “Maggie” Resnick, a young philosophy student and Alma’s protégée
