Tomorrow Ever After (2017)
Shaina lives 600 years in the future. War, greed, prejudice, poverty, pollution, violence, loneliness, depression – these are things that she’s read about in history books. When an accident in a physics experiment sends her on a time-travel journey to our times, she assumes that everyone around her is honest, generous and caring, as she recruits the help that she needs to get back home.

Memorable, crazy movie
Best movie of this year hands down!
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Tomorrow Ever After had me unexpectedly laughing, which I didn't expect going into the film. I laughed at the peculiar ways we separate ourselves from each other, to create distance instead of connection. I was touched by the interactions between the main character and the other characters and how her presence in their lives affected them. It's definitely an important film for our times that will make you question what else is possible for the human species.
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...
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 an inspiring movie, both as a fellow independent artist (Thier is an independent filmmaker) and the movie itself which suggests that a better world is not only possible, but the destiny of humankind. I was thoroughly captivated throughout, and appreciated both the humor and the message. Highly recommend!
