After the Hunt, Andrew Garfield’s Biggest Misfire of 2025, Gets a Second Chance on Prime Video
After the Hunt, the Andrew Garfield and Luca Guadagnino misfire branded one of 2025’s worst, is already heading to Prime Video, with the platform’s Brazil Instagram teasing an alleged release date.
Well, this is a twist. Luca Guadagnino and Andrew Garfield's campus drama 'After the Hunt' — the one that stirred up a lot of debate and then absolutely face-planted at the box office — finally has a streaming date. And it didn't come via a splashy press release. It popped up on Prime Video Brasil's Instagram, tucked on page 6 of a carousel. Sure, why not.
So, when can you stream it?
According to Prime Video Brasil, 'After the Hunt' hits Prime Video on November 20, 2025. Because Amazon MGM Studios produced it, the streamer has the exclusive rights, so this was always the eventual home. There had been chatter that the film's original ending could be a headache for a streaming rollout, but Prime Video seems perfectly happy to just rip the Band-Aid off and get it out there.
How we got here
The trailer sold a slick, provocative thriller. The movie itself tackled hot-button topics — sexual assault, the #MeToo movement, and cancel culture — all set in an academic environment. That combo sparked immediate controversy and never really found a wide audience. Despite pockets of early praise, word of mouth leaned harsh, and the numbers did too. After its limited domestic theatrical run in the U.S. wrapped, the film stood as one of 2025's biggest misfires.
What people dinged it for
Acting aside (which most folks agreed was strong), the movie got hit for trying to stuff too many thorny ideas into one package and not committing to any of them. The campus setting, the allegations, the culture-war framing — it all ended up feeling cramped and oddly timid. The finale, especially, was called out as a letdown compared to the high-stakes tone the film keeps promising. It keeps reaching for a bigger point that never quite lands.

The takeaway
Between the controversy, the undercooked execution, and a brutal theatrical run, this one likely ranks among the roughest outings for both Garfield and Guadagnino. But a divisive movie can sometimes find a second life at home. We will see if a Prime Video launch on November 20 moves the needle — or just puts a quick bow on a very messy rollout.
