El mañana es hoy

I had the privilege of seeing a private screening of the film tonight.

I went to see it with a date and let me tell you... I hate to cry at the movies and in fact, I don't very much but this one really got to me.

I left the theater and had to tell my date that I didn't feel well and went into my car and started balling. This has never happened to me before, I don't consider myself a softy at all much the contrary.

This film is filled with poetry and powerful performances. This is a story I will never forget and filmmakers I am SURE I will see again. There is a lot of wisdom and insightful messages in this story.

The cinematography was breathtaking especially since I learned it was done on a minuscule budget (The director wouldn't say exactly how much). But I think this film could change the industry. It proves that you can deliver incredible production quality on an Indie budget. Although the images were beautiful, it really delivers on story and performances.

Mark Hefti went through a striking transformation during the film. He becomes a different person physically and in his demeanor. I knew he wrote the script before I watch it so it added a lot of meaning behind the messages. Well done!

Scout Taylor-Compton is unbelievable. What a hottie. She has so much charm on screen. You can't help but fall in love with the girl.

I promised in a signed statement not to reveal any plot points so unfortunately I can't talk about the story but all I can say is that this film is going to do very well. The director mentioned that it will be in some big festivals and I wouldn't be surprised if it became a festival favorite.

Thanks for this film guys.

First, I must apologize if my comment comes off as too over the top. But how I feel about this movie is something I can not tone down! Tomorrow is Today is Film making at it's finest. I happened upon this film, through my membership to the Spiritual Cinema Circle, and I was blown away. It pulled me in and rocked me to the core. The beautiful, poetic, inspiring way this devastatingly heart wrenching story is told is amazing. The writing, direction, acting, cinematography--everything, is so powerfully moving there really are no words to describe it. I love a good cry, and that's just what this film evokes: a GOOD cry. For inter-weaved with the heartache & pain is hope, courage, and soul stirring inspiration. This movie has the biggest heart of any I've ever seen. I TRULY hope to one day see it on the big screen, because that is exactly where it belongs. Tomorrow is Today is a first-rate film that everyone should have the opportunity to experience.

The movie is different from all the other Hollywood movies in an extremely beautiful way. It makes you love life and realize that bad things happen to all, even a sweet and innocent girl, but life goes on and for the sake of the loved ones that you lost you must go on and live life to the fullest. The movie was very touching, made me cry, yet the unexpected funny parts made it more real and natural. I loved all the characters, the script and the ending...the ending couldn't have been written any better. Although there isn't much action in the movie, it passed by so fast. The audience is constatnly being surprised by an addition of a new plot...ex: the police officers life, the liquir stores owners life, the life of Muriel's daughter and the teenager's parents. All these characters had lost something great, but they all live life because they have each other, because they have sholders to cry on, because they have one another to lean on, or simply because they have to be strong for the others. LOVED IT! LOVED IT! LOVED IT! Hollywood is long overdue for a movie like this.

I saw this film last week at it's world premiere at the Rhode Island International Film Festival. I was so moved by the amazing writing, acting and of course, directing. I haven't seen a film so well done as this one in a long time, independent or mainstream. There was not one character that you couldn't relate to or empathize with. Usually I am only able to find one, maybe two characters to like in a good script, but Mark Hefti's innovative writing along with Frederic Lumiere's dynamic direction helped me connect with every single character. After watching this film, I stepped out of the theater for some fresh air and then returned to catch a brief portion of their Q & A. Again I had to leave because I was so moved by all aspects of this story. Tomorrow is Today was the perfect title to such a fantastic film. This movie has restored my faith in finding love after loss and heartbreak. This is a must see by film lovers everywhere.

This movie generously portrays the depth of the human spirit and what is possible when one human being moves beyond what is expected of them and fulfills on what is possible for them.

The acting is well done and the cinematography aptly captures the moods and spaces that each of the characters moves through on their way to the gripping finish.

Though I have not seen work from most of these actors before and the director is new to me, I can only see bright futures for all of them.

My only problem with the movie is the attempt to trivialize some aspects of the class struggle looming just beneath the surface in our society.
