Bad ending.

”Bomboclaat”

The beginning was so geeky! I loved it. It quickly changed to a somber reflection of present day America where black men are being shot down at the drop of a hat. Using time travel as a device to propel the story forward, it works on so many levels. Unfortunately, since it's not a cheery Hallmark movie, some people are unable to handle it. I personally loved it and didn't mind how unconventional it was.

All this, and they used the subjunctive correctly too.

With a script penned by Stefon Bristol and Fredrica Bailey, which earned the Best First Screenplay Award at the 35th Independent Spirit Awards, See You Yesterday illustrates the significances of time travel with a brisk perception. It’s a small-scale narrative which resonates emotionally and does not squander any of its restrictive funding or packed runtime.

Its underlined by performances that are conveyed without any significant missteps, particularly from central protagonists Eden Duncan-Smith and Dante Crichlow. See You Yesterday bolsters a youthful curiosity for adventure while imaginatively and intriguingly combining several genre elements, as well as featuring an entertaining cameo from Michael J. Fox.

Absolutely the fuck not, fucker! Fuck! No! This shit is not fucking helpful. Just fucking repetitive trauma to prove a point. Shove it up your ass. 😡

Producer Spike Lee’s DNA is clear and profound in Stefon Bristol’s See You Yesterday. Bristol’s film an amalgamation of Do The Right Thing and Back To The Future cements itself as of one of the greatest adult-oriented films targeted for younger audiences. A captivating feature with a stunning meld of optimistic prepubescent meets the tragedy of adolescence.

*guy throwing peace sign and fading meme*

This is really fucking bad....wow. If you thought Velvet Buzzsaw was a tonal mess, wait until you get a load of this. Is this a heavy handed political commentary drama? Is this a young adult buddy sci-fi comedy story? Hold on they just said fuck...they just said ni...what the actual fuck is this. This has the production quality and feel of a Disney channel movie but is so heavy handed. Clunky, preachy, soapboxing at the beginning gives way to lighthearted science jargon and montage...gives way to seeing a kid get shot. Shit acting all around save Astro and Wavyy Jonez, they had a nice relationship. The only redeeming factors are a nice rolling camera shot, a warm color pallette, and one nice scene of a local block party. Please don’t watch

performances felt a little awkward and it gets far too melodramatic for my taste. u can def tell when a short film gets expanded to a feature. most work better as shorts. would be cool to have a black coming of age story that didnt revolve around police brutality.

65/100

It's like Dope but with time travel. I like that.

This has the worst and most inconsistent rules of time travel I’ve seen lmao.

não consigo dar nota pq no momento não estou sabendo lidar com o final

Racism for kids. In a good way. 11 year olds could watch this and get it.

Tonally a bit disjointed, but great cast, lot to say, fresh approach.

Not exactly sure what it was supposed to be, but it definitely did not hit its mark. The dialogues were putting off.

Heavy, with an inconclusive ending... which would’ve only worked if it had been a short film, now it just feels incomplete. This one definitely hurt my heart a bit, but police brutality is a reality that shouldn’t be ignored in film. I’m glad this movie exists.

Watch a film with a non-linear plot or that plays with time in some other way.

this isn’t terrible, and it had potential, but it seems confused as to who it’s for, and what it actually wants to say. parts of it are very cheesy a la Disney, other parts are violent and filled with profanity (neither of which are bad things necessarily, but they don’t gel together super well). the characters are poorly drawn and continually make out-of-character horrible decisions the entire movie. also, the ending is beyond frustrating.

But, the young actors do a pretty good job, and the Michael J. Fox cameo was kinda cute. I will be interested to see what Stefon Bristol does in the future, cause there’s almost something here.

See You Yesterday ist eine Mischung aus SciFi-Film und Teenager-Drama gemischt mit aktueller Rassismus-Kritik. Was ich als erstes schreiben möchte: schön Michael J. Fox nochmal in einem Film zu sehen! Was ich danach dazu schreiben möchte: nett erzählter Zeitreise-Film, der meistens aber Durchschnittlich bleibt. Ich zitiere jetzt mal Wikipedia: "Einige Kritiker werfen Spike Lee jedoch die Neigung vor, afroamerikanische Charaktere als „den anderen überlegen“ darzustellen und in die häufig klischeehaften Darstellungen von bestimmten anderen ethnischen Gruppen eigene Vorurteile und Antipathien einzubauen. Damit würde er seine Anti-Diskriminierungs-Aussagen selbst untergraben." Und das ist mir tatsächlich bei diesem Film auch etwas aufgefallen bevor ich die Kritik an Lee gelesen habe, es ist aber nichts, was den "Film-Spaß" hemmen würde.

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

I feel like there’s a lot one could talk about when discussing this film, there’s a lot packed into this pretty short film. Yet I think one of its most powerful aspects is its open-ended ending. I know that some people are becoming wearing of these endings but this one hit like a gut punch. To deal with such heavy themes and then to kind of leave them open ended seemed dark but a good fit for the movie. The ending left me in tears and I was not expecting that, I think it will be something that is on my mind for the next coming months.
