What the critic wrote
Afterlight is a strong idea: every picture is drawn in code because no footage exists, and it fits the fc-porto documentary-memorial backbone well. The leader countdown into the blur-focus nameplate and the five-stage decay pin are real signature moments that read clearly in the motion strips. What holds it back from fc-porto's level is finish, not concept.
