delysid d a great forgotten film; a heartbreaking look into the great depression Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/17/21 Full Review Audience Member Very excellent film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member It's good but slow. Interesting to see how the poorest used to live. The whole time I felt a sense of tension like something bad was going to happen. And there were a couple bad things but nothing really evil. He really had a lot of heart even though he rarely showed any emotions. I also noticed he is a lot like Billy Bob Thornton's Slingblade character which is interesting. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review razvan p good ending, good start, good pattern. middle is shit tho Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Shot in Mississippi by director Joseph Anthony, Tomorrow didn't have much critique or was seen by many people until nearly ten years after its release. The film winds up being more of an art house film than it lets on if you're aware of the storyline, which is about the caretaker of an old sawmill who decides to shelter a drifting pregnant woman, falling in love with her in the process. The film was also based on a play adapted from a short story by William Faulkner, and it shows in the look of the film. It's pretty sparse as far as production expense, and there's a very minimalist quality to it. For me, I found the characters to be pretty much there, but it felt like I was seeing them through the eyes of a stage director. They never really reach any emotional depths, or any highs, for that matter. That being said, I think Robert Duvall does give a significant performance. The other characters in the film do a good job, but it's Duvall who we're invested in here, and he doesn't let you down. The story is also quite easy to follow, although it does contain some needless bookend material that's feels counterintuitive to the story that's been told in between. Still, there's an interesting story to be found here. I wouldn't call it totally successful as a film, but as a story, it should draw you in well enough if you can pay attention. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A sad tale told in a realistic way but slow to develop with a conclusion that seemed rushed. Depressing enough to be a tragic episode of Little House on the Prarie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
