Mjeteconer Just perfect...
Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Geraldine The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
daniel-nys Filmed in a nice part of Belgiums most beautiful university cities, a great Flemish cast acts in a movie about parallel universes. What if you can change the past by sending it a simple email? Three student die in a protest, 25 years later a professor and his doctorandus try to change this event but end up changing their own future. The fantastic Koen De Graeve, Metteo Simoni, Robrecht Vanden Thoren and Karina Smulders draw you attention to keep up with the parallel but never returning futures.
Pandhalt A very sweet film grappling with the ramifications of time travel (or more correctly time communication) and perhaps concluding (hopefully without too much of a spoiler) that in the end true love (or is it?) finds a way.Fluctuating between the film's release date in 2015 and a projected future in 2040, the saddest part of the film is the apparent lack of change, (besides interactive chalkboards) not an alien in evidence! Acquaintances in the park live out various futures dictated at times by different hands with divergent agendas, solely through the medium of email. Like all films concerned with time, the film leaks plot holes, but still manages a semblance of believability. I thought the acting and settings wonderful, but the film owes much to a wonderful piano led score. And if you ever put your hand on some glass (even Vermelen), prepare for the pane!
fietjevdr I really enjoyed watching this movie. First of all there's the music that perfectly sets the scene every time. Then thete's the way the things are being filmed (such as the opening scene, nicely done really). Then there's the splendid actor performances.The details that were put into perspective. The fact that it's actually sci-fi but then again not. Emotions play the essential role and that's what makes this film so great. I was from beginning till end sucked into the different emotions the main actors are going through as if I was the one going through it. High quality in other words! To be proud of as a Belgian :-) Only one little word of critic maybe: why did the woman need to be Dutch instead of Flemish? Because of investments maybe...
devestele "Terug naar Morgen" is that kind of movie that sticks to your mind for some days. The story (a scientist fiddling with the past because of emotional reasons) is well thought off, has several layers and sideways. Watching this movie is like reading a good intriguing book. The performances of the actors are excellent (I liked for example very much the way every character has a slightly different personality in the different time episodes). The movie has been made with a lot of attention to details, which invites to watch it a second time. On top of this, it is very pleasant and symbolic that the movie has been shot in the famous and beautiful Belgian university town of Leuven. In short: recommended !
