Tomorrow Ever After

This movie was one of the best I've ever seen and I'm a stickler for movie quality. Tomorrow Ever After is far from a cliché movie about time travel, but instead a laugh-out- loud sensation about the underlying issues with human society as we know it. Their's portrayal of the character Shaina brings a realness to the screen that most films lack. If you watch movies for their quality and craft, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS MOVIE!

Inspiring and uplifting. Do yourself a favor and go see this film. Hope it gets to be widely distributed. It reminded me of John Sayles wonderful "Brother from Another Planet" in that it shows terrible alienation but also the power of human beings connecting with one another. I also enjoyed seeing the New York City locales.

"I keep making mistakes. I don't know how to live here."

The main character says in one scene when she keeps being met with hardship & resistance, simply by being herself (which was perfectly fine where she is from). We all have felt like we don't belong at some point. Or that we aren't enough or questioned ourselves, our gifts and superpowers (aka flaws) and often times adjust ourselves to fit in, to get by, to make our lives (or relationships) seemingly easier.

This film was definitely refreshing, leaving you reflecting on your life, your choices, how you interact with yourself, others, and the words…. The impact of it all. It was just so rich in simply being human. Connection is what really makes the world go round, up and down, and even wobble at times!! And this film shows our connection and disconnection in a way that really leaves you with yourself.

Thank YOU Ela!!!

Maybe I don't have a sense of humour but I did not find this film remotely funny, let alone laugh out loud funny.

I found it totally irritating, annoying and depressing.

Maybe it is because I am British and truly believe that generally people are loving and nice to one another. God help Americans if most of them are as cold and unemotional as the film suggests they are.

I get that if someone travels 600 years in the past, they would struggle to fit in and understand everything about their surroundings but surely as an historian, they would know about things like keys, even if they did not use them in their time.

I usually love films about time travel, wondering about how things would be affected back in the future but sorry, this film did nothing for me.

TOMORROW EVER AFTER is classified as a comedy, but that's only because it's too light to be drama. It answers the questions 1) what would befall a person marooned in our time from 500 years in our future? 2) how is contemporary society irrational and insensitive?

Ela Thier as writer, director, and lead delivers a thought-provoking story. At first the performances seem a little wooden and forced. As the story unwinds it's clear character Shaina is very culturally different, in part because Ela is a little stiff at times while her character often steps outside cultural norms. She really sells it in the third act as her fear and frustration boil over.

The film left me wanting to know more about what happens to Shaina. That's the sign of engagement.
