Tomorrow Ever After

"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!!!

We learned about the movie online, and were intrigued by the summary and reviews. The first minutes already captivated me. A main character to identify with, finally! The being from the future, Shaina (played by director and writer Ela Their), finds herself in an environment (NY) where people seem to care more about money than people. I do not want to reveal too much but the sense of awe enacted by the main character is wonderful. The portrayal of "NYers" Shaina meets seem accurate of how people act in the urban environment, for instance feeling alienated, ignoring and anxious. The experience of the movie makes it look more aligned with a harmonious social dynamic the way Shaina encounters people. The experience of the movie (and its creation) is a beautiful testimony to humanity and humble modes of being. Wouldn't it be nice to encounter curious, kind and nonjudgmental beings? I cannot remember when I was able to watch a movie that was not animated where a child-like curiosity felt so logical and natural. This is a movie I can watch again and again, just to become inspired to keep being curious and kind to create this world. Please go watch it!

What a VISIONARY movie!!! I hope there is a part 2, 3, 4, 5.... I LOVE the idea of a world where humans get their S$&@% together! Thank you for letting me dream while awake!! This movie is as DEEP as they come, but surprisingly FUNNY as well! It's RARE I say that I LOVE a movie! The last time I loved a movie was The Matrix (Part 1). Hollywood, you should wake up and smell the consciousness! My only wish is that this was playing at all the Multiplex theaters. But then again, that is the point of the movie -- Our society isn't currently set up for what is best for humanity...

It's a movie that made me happy! It's a thoughtful dive into us humans and how we treat each other and oh my goodness how inspiring!

It may have its flaws but it's not a movie that's quickly forgotten. It's made me want to be a more considerate human being, loving, and not so closed off. I just don't know how to do that as an introvert but I think I'll try a little harder now.

I wish there was a part two but the ending scenes made it a complete movie for me, they gave me hope for the characters and for us.

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!
