Tomorrow Before After

I gave the lengthy (what I thought was going to be a prelude to a plot and/or action) beginning of the film the benefit of the doubt. That was because I am a fan of the genre, and because the actress performed well with what she was given.

Unfortunately, her performance was the only plus. Well, I added a third star because I love dogs, and her co-star helped rescue the movie from utter oblivion.

Few actors can carry a film that's essentially a monologue, especially one with a politically correct theme. She did decently with that enormous challenge, but the plot never proved convincing, and the ending simply didn't deliver.

Sad... I really did want to like it.

...what... I watched Alfonso Quijada's first movie The Whisper of Silence a couple of days ago and I had to watch his next movie! And... what? Is this guy for real? Where does he gets his ideas? Both films are rare... unique but as I get to know Quijada I see that he is either smoking some serious stuff or he is from another planet. I love this film. Natalia Reyes sure steps up as a solo actress, a long way from the generic Tim Miller Terminators ... no, this is another leve of performace. The art direction is impressive and I need to see more from the art director, Colombian Hernan Garcia! A film that requieres indulging its thought provoking agenda. Yes, agenda... for there way more behind that one can persive.

I think this movie explores very well a character that discovered that she is alone in this world after an apocalypse. The decadence and the madness of the character show us that the human mind can be very fragile but at the same time can be very strong.

Natalia Reyes and the director Alfonso made a great job convincing us that world destruction can be possible and that after all is the only thing we need to care about.

The cinematography sometimes give us the sensation that we are in horror movie and I think it would have been better to have more static shots of Natalia and maybe more intimate shots so we can be with her more time and understand her more.

The direction and the acting is grate and I can tell that there was a hard job behind all this master piece.

Particularly if the viewer is a fan of dystopian future/post-apocalyptic movies, Tomorrow Before After is a movie worth our time. The narrative is not spectacular, and although there is a message worth listening to, it is not groundbreaking insightful. What we are presented with, instead, is a heroine, alone, despondent, with fractured questions, perhaps, survivor's guilt and a character seemingly living in a day-to-day modus operandi that might just barely guarantee her and her unborn's survival. We sit and watch not only the decaying world our heroine lives in, displayed in Alfonso Quijada's wonderful cinematography, but where this world is visited by the wonderful acting of Natalia Reyes Gaitan's complex approach to her, frustrating at times, but ultimately likable character. The movie, although introducing, maybe unnecessarily, unanswered misteries here and there, is very likely a study of what life could be like, for some, if we as social creatures were to be deprived of that umbrella of protection we call "having someone to share our lives with, having company," and that alone is worth our time.

What an amazing film!!! I haven't seen this kind of genre in both English and Spanish. The history seams so real and original, the director did an excellent job. He got the best of his actress and honestly they are very talented artists . I have seen a few films from Alfonso Quijada and they are great !! This film is different and very unusual. I believe it's the first Latin movie, at least that I've seen and I just love it. I'm impressed and proud that this great Director Alfonso Quijada and actress Natalia Reyes achieved such a wonderful film. It's great to know that there are some really talented artists in the Latin film industry.
