Tomorrow Before After

This is a saga and, I can definitely see this chapter as a Love it or hate it one. It is not everyone who would have the set of mind of sitting down to watch just a couple of characters interact and specially, watching one of them while she loses her mind due to bizarre yet, understandable situations.

I took this movie as an empathetic path of walking the characters' journey with her; as a human, as a woman, as a mother. Also, it is a game of wondering since you must keep your mind open to not getting all the answers.

We are used to all too fast, too full and, sometimes, too obvious content. This movie definitely has a different angle.

I can also appreciate a movie of this technical level being brought to Colombia with so much love. I had the privilege of listening first hand, at the Cartagena 62nd Film Festival, how this movie was shot during the pandemic and under quite extreme circumstances.

What an amazing film!!! I haven't seen this kind of genre in both English and Spanish. The history seams so real and original, the director did an excellent job. He got the best of his actress and honestly they are very talented artists . I have seen a few films from Alfonso Quijada and they are great !! This film is different and very unusual. I believe it's the first Latin movie, at least that I've seen and I just love it. I'm impressed and proud that this great Director Alfonso Quijada and actress Natalia Reyes achieved such a wonderful film. It's great to know that there are some really talented artists in the Latin film industry.

"Tomorrow Before after" is an astonishing post-apocalyptic film that delivers a gripping and emotionally charged experience. The film centers on the harrowing journey of a lone woman and her loyal dog, who are on the brink of sanity in a desolate world. The story takes a powerful turn when the protagonist discovers she is pregnant, forcing her to confront the enormity of her new reality and the hope she carries for repopulating the earth.

The lead actress delivers a stellar performance, portraying her character's vulnerability, resilience, and inner strength with remarkable depth. Her chemistry with the dog is heartwarming and genuine, providing a touching counterpoint to the harshness of their surroundings. The film's cinematography skillfully captures the bleakness of the environment while highlighting moments of profound beauty and hope.

"Tomorrow Before After" excels in its exploration of human endurance and the instinct to protect and nurture life even in the darkest times. The narrative is both haunting and uplifting, weaving a tale of survival, redemption, and the enduring power of hope. It's a cinematic experience that will leave audiences reflecting on the strength of the human spirit long after the credits roll.

I gave the lengthy (what I thought was going to be a prelude to a plot and/or action) beginning of the film the benefit of the doubt. That was because I am a fan of the genre, and because the actress performed well with what she was given.

Unfortunately, her performance was the only plus. Well, I added a third star because I love dogs, and her co-star helped rescue the movie from utter oblivion.

Few actors can carry a film that's essentially a monologue, especially one with a politically correct theme. She did decently with that enormous challenge, but the plot never proved convincing, and the ending simply didn't deliver.

Sad... I really did want to like it.

From start to finish this movie keeps you captivated by the story of a woman who finds herself alone after a great destruction on the planet. The film allows the audience to feel what would happen in the event that a person was left alone as the only survivor. The actress, through her performance, manages to convey the emotions of a human being when she finds herself alone in the world, with no one around her to talk to, interact with or ask for help, she only finds a dog who becomes her best company and friend. It is a film that has great production values, from the script, direction, acting, sound, music, effects and photography. Definitely a great piece of the film industry produced and filmed in Colombia.
