Yesterday's Girl

Yesterday's Girl feels like it was filmed without a script on an iPhone. It felt as though they were just making it up as they went along.

This movie for a low budget one, seemed to utilize what little money they had exceptionally well. as far as spfx, lighting, cinema-photography, and the actors. the story/movie.... well a bigger budget would have really helped for the movie itself. the story... yeah umm, its good but.... i had to struggle and draw my own conclusions several times as to what maybe happening. and i suspect i might be wrong about the writers ideas. like a prism, there seemed one thought going in with multiple tangents of where the heck should this go. i am a huge fan of apocalyptic/zombie/ we are all doomed type of movies, but this... i cant put my finger on it. its better than ok but not much above watching a movie while scrolling thru social media on your phone. sorta like this review. would i watch it again, yes. should you watch it? yes, if you like these type of movies. because if your not into that genre, you will hate it. i couldnt give it less stars because i kinda liked it, i would have given more stars if i was positive about my assumption of the ending.

This isn't one of those B-Grades that's so bad it's good, this is just bad. I was literally falling asleep during it. Lots of walking/talking and weird camera scenes. I know what they were trying to do with the "twist" at the end, but by the end, I didn't care and the surprise ending was hardly a surprise. In short, this movie is just bad, pick any other.

This film is an ambitious independent film about "The End Time" with strong cinematography, effects, sound and music.

The storyline involves a series of mini morality stories centred around Mia trying to understand and come to terms with the fact she has awoken on the last day of earth (Judgement Day), compounded by her memory of being murdered in the distant past ( the 50's). Pursed across a ravaged landscape she is forced to confront a forgotten memory that places her in an immoral trap.

The filmmakers obviously set out to create a sense of chaos, which is done on a scale I've not seen before on an "indie" budget, but the common thread is Mia. Through her struggles, out of the chaos, emerges a storyline of morality. Asking the question, what price would you be prepared to pay if offered a chance to escape a dying world ?

I would recommend this film for those who don't want franchised story lines handed to them on a plate. All in all I liked this movie a lot.

If you want a movie about about a dystopian future including different time periods, plague, death, murder, bounty hunters, interment camps, people turning to dust, dark beings, divine powers set to an amazing cinematic score, this movie has it.

For me it was a cinematic journey through 3 worlds. The world of nature, the world of man and the world of the divine. So if you want answers with a simple storyline then this isn't for you. But if you want a film that lingers in the mind without giving it all away and needing a re-visit , then see this intriguing film.
