Tomorrow is Today (2008)

Too much of everything

good back-story, and good acting

Admirable film.

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

I have seen many independent movies at my local theater in Doylestown. Today is Tomorrow is by far the most engaging and touching films from a local producer that I have experienced. Questions arise from the age disparity, weather the wanderer can be trusted and what may happen next. The bright and trusting nature of the girl offers him hope and inspiration, albeit hidden at first. Somehow these two people from very different worlds and backgrounds, each was able to offer the other a level of depth where embracing life and appreciating each moment was enhanced by their growing love for each other. A young girl embracing life although her time will be shortened by illness. The man not caring weather he lives or dies until.....a chance meeting. Exquisite moments were captured in this happenstance relationship. I highly recommend this film.

Great acting. Scout plays a compassionate character. She and Mark Hefli have great chemistry. He's convincing as someone who is lost, both spiritually and physically. Ken Arnold is definitely an actor to watch for. He's very convincing as Scout's father and shares her empathy for Mark Hefli. The cinematography alone is worth watching. I love the shots at the beach. Good choice of shots. They really help show you what's going on beneath the surface. The story is compelling. It keeps you wanting to see more. The music definitely helps enhance the mood of the film. I would recommend it for anyone who appreciates a good movie that is character driven. There was hardly a dull moment. The suspense of how Scout and Mark Hefli will resolve Mark's fight with the past keeps you want to see more of the film. It's like an Altman film where everything is connected, and you realize it by the end of the film how.

This movie generously portrays the depth of the human spirit and what is possible when one human being moves beyond what is expected of them and fulfills on what is possible for them.The acting is well done and the cinematography aptly captures the moods and spaces that each of the characters moves through on their way to the gripping finish.Though I have not seen work from most of these actors before and the director is new to me, I can only see bright futures for all of them.My only problem with the movie is the attempt to trivialize some aspects of the class struggle looming just beneath the surface in our society.

This film tells the story of a down and out man who is befriended by a young girl on a New Jersey beach. She is very young, and if not under age, naive in the ways typical of a young girl. She is also sensitive to what she perceives as a cry for connection of another soul. Initially, the vagrant wants nothing to do with her, but she persists and eventually gets him to reach back and establish the connection. Parents are more than a little upset by the liaison. The filmmaker does a great job of bringing out this tension, delving into the man's demons and resolving the relationship in a pleasing way. I enjoyed the film and recommend it to anyone seeking a movie that does more than follow the usual Hollywood formula of explicit sex and violence to tell the story.
