Short description

After Yang is set in a near future where households commonly rely on domestic androids called techno-sapiens. Jake and Kyra, who adopted their daughter Mika from China, bought one such android, Yang, to help the girl settle into her new life and keep a connection to her heritage. Yang became Mika's companion and friend. When he malfunctions, Jake puts his life on hold and sets out to have him repaired, a search that turns out to be harder than expected and leads him to examine his own relationships.

The film is directed and written by Kogonada, following his debut feature Columbus (2017) and preceding A Big Bold Beautiful Journey (2025) in his filmography. The cast includes Colin Farrell as Jake, Jodie Turner-Smith as Kyra, Malea Emma Tjandrawidjaja as Mika, Justin H. Min as Yang, Haley Lu Richardson as Ada and Sarita Choudhury as Cleo, among thirty credited performers. It is an American production from A24, Cinereach and Per Capita Productions, running 96 minutes.

On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 6.6/10 from about 26,000 votes, and on TMDB 6.4/10 from 549 votes. A film critics' rating of 7.9/10 from 238 reviews places critical appraisal noticeably above the audience scores, indicating that reviewers responded more positively than general viewers did.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Costume designer Arjun Bhasin created costumes for the film that indicated a shift away from synthetic fabrics and a focus on sustainability and the use of renewable materials. None of the costumes contained a single plastic element.
  • Some scenes in the film were inspired by the films "Early Summer" (1951) by Yasujiro Ozu (1903-1963) and "Five Shaolin Masters" (1979) directed by Chang Che (1923-2002).
  • The house where the main characters live is based on the works of Joseph Eichler (1900-1974) – an American developer who designed a new type of home with modernist architecture, distinguished by its affordability and functionality.
  • Judging by some details in the frame, the plot of the film unfolds after a 60-year war between the United States and China.
