GamerTab That was an excellent one.
ChanBot i must have seen a different film!!
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Steve Skafte Right off, there's a couple of real serious flaws about this film. First of all, Joseph Anthony's direction is very stage-bound, hard and harsh. Second, the acting is ridiculously over-the-top. Robert Duvall, who I've liked in just about everything I've seen him, gives such an affected performance that it's hard to read his character. The accents go all over the place. Olga Bellin and Duvall sometimes seem to be from the south, and sometimes somewhere else altogether. The dialogue throughout is too polite, too in turn, as if everyone waits to speak their lines. The storyline itself is ordinary, with neither enough character development or dramatic drive to make it at all compelling.There are good points. Allan Green does some very nice work with the cinematography. The harsh, stark wintertime images really settle you in the story. The atmosphere is believable and well-developed. If it wasn't how the performances so completely failed to convince, "Tomorrow" could have almost been a good film. I really wanted to like it, but there's just not enough here to like.
arieliondotcom Like other reviewers, I was going to avoid this movie within the first few minutes because of its austere quality. Black and white, gritty, bare-boned filming and direction looking at awkward people in a strangely quiet way. A scraping by man that is one step away from Adam in implements scratching out a living suddenly comes by an ailing pregnant woman who he befriends and keeps alive by stretching the tight shoestring he's already living on, taut to its limit.But then, as the story unfolds, you realize it HAD to be shot in black and white; it had to have that raw, gritty quality. That's the nature of the story. That's the power of it.I agree, too, with other reviewers that if (as some of us have been theorizing) the woman and her child were written to be Black, that would bring several new levels of poignancy to every aspect of the film. And you can read that in as you watch and appreciate those nuances for yourself though they're not spelled out in the film. I also had the strange thought while watching of how great it would have been to have Johnny and June Carter Cash playing the leads, since this film was made in their heyday. But that's just me.Yet even as it is, this is a rare piece of coal that under the pressure of tough times shows itself to be a diamond. Not to be missed.
lindyla_007 I saw this film for the first time over a week ago and can't get it out of my mind. I was not familiar with the story nor had I ever seen Robert Duvall in such an powerful but understated performance. At first I wondered if I would like the movie but soon found I could not take my eyes off the screen. It was like being transported back in time to a place I've never been, and was watching this story unfold as if it was actually happening right in front of me. Robert Duvall was amazing, absolutely stunning. The story says so much about love and how important it is for all of us. Watch this movie...it is riveting and such a great story!
Lee De Cola It's always interesting to see a movie from a play. This one made me wonder how the intimate, brooding mood of extended silences reached across the stage into the audience, but it certainly works on film. The Netflix blurb prepared me for a depressing experience, but I came away with a sense that I had spent a few years in a world that is thousands of miles and hundreds of years from my own. The characters have a limited range of expression, but what they feel and say is consistent and almost meditative. Yes, there is tragedy, but the gift of a film that opens a window on deep experience is that you are uplifted rather than let down. A nice little movie that makes me so grateful for DVDs.
