Tomorrow

Was misled by the writeup of this movie and thought it was another Afghanistan or Iraq US war movie. The Director, Martha Pinson and Executive Producer Martin Scorsese surprised me when I started watching it as it was entirely British. The English terms used really enhanced the comedy. The interaction between the cast melds very well and naturally making the entire film moving and believable. This film is about a light hearted look at relationships in adversity with very little war footage.

Thought the story line was very good and the acting superb. As it is not full fledged Hollywood blockbuster in terms of money spent on it, I still highly recommend seeing it. Quite a few funny parts and a beautiful rapport between the characters.

Overall well worth seeing and supporting this film!!

I would give this 11 stars if I could. It was a great emotional movie that shows life after war and the struggles of Ptsd. Street portrays his character beautifully and it is clear that he took the time to research his role and learning how to use a wheelchair. Brennans character comes across as arrogant at the start but develops throughout and you learn his actions are because he's scared. I loved the writing and having James Cosmo and Stephen Fry made the movie even better. Kudos to both Street and Brennan for their writing and the obvious research that was done for the movie and to ensure that a realistic movie was provided to us.

.....but this was an extremely disappointing watch. Interestingly there is a line early on in the movie about laziness and this is was the overwhelming feeling I had about the quality of script writing. The clunky and almost childlike storyline seems like it was cobbled together at the last minute, bizarrely ending in the same manner with obvious and also bizarrely irrelevant revelations. The only reason I was able to award any stars is due to what I believe were good intentions over the breaking of stigmas. However, as I walked away from the cinema I found myself saying "I've no idea what that movie was actually about". Poor form.

Tomorrow is a must see film inspired by real life. It explores specific themes- the difficulties and stigma attached to permanent injury/virus; adjustment of post war vets back in civilian life; the psychological consequences of war; HIV+ as a treatable virus. But the emotional depth of the film is what I loved as the themes that run parallel to the main story, bubbling away beneath the surface take this film to a whole new level of brilliance - it is far deeper than the immediate themes - for more see This will be as much a critique of the critics - it will be interesting to see if they have the depth to get what it is really all about....
