Softwing
Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

I got to see the film on DVD as it was never released on screens in Kuala Lumpur where I live or at least I did not hear about it. It was absolutely one of the best films one could ever wish for if they were into films with a straight story whose taste will be with you like forever. Throughout the film and almost in every scene I had this weird feeling that I have been to those places before or at least once have had a dream like that, especially in the club scene with the mind-boggling music in the air. It really blew me away.The acting was just awesome as the two were showing their true characters and had nothing to hide from one another. Alison, a naughty girl with all that energy, had come cross the young Wes who seemed to have nothing in common with her at first but as the story went on, they were so incredibly bound together that you could clearly see the effect of this simple but strong connection between them in their life...Wes was talking about the transfer of energy in some scene in the film while Alison had no clue what it was like but the film showed this movement of energy so well between the characters. I had never seen a movie like this making me wish for such moments as every scene was telling the story of a dream...I believe movies like "All the days before tomorrow" are created once in a lifetime and I strongly believe we need more of this type to show the great power of true joy and happiness and I think happiness was well- defined in every second of this movie...

I just watched this movie last night. Within 30 minutes of the start, I was hoping it would end.It had a promising beginning; the first 10 minutes. The premise of this movie (friendship that goes nowhere after they've spent days (and Years) together in "Separate" beds in hotel rooms) is just not believable. He does kiss her somewhere along the way, and she feels Ohh, so terrible about it. Very little substance to grab your interest. The acting just does not hold up. He is very passive. Regardless of how much of the movie is shown, the viewer never develops any type of a caring connection with the characters on the screen. You learn that her next utterance will be as boring as her previous one. ("Do you have a cigarette ?", He doesn't smoke, He wants her to stop smoking, Doesn't she know this by now.)She calls him in the middle of the night to visit him after a year's absence, she comes in through the door, they don't even hug or kiss or express any type of emotional connection. He doesn't even lean forward to lift her suitcase to help her in. That is not how real people behave, This is not how best pals behave.When he receives her phone call in the middle of the night (she is in town for one day), he shows little interest to see her face, acts more like she will be a burden for the night. At this point they've known each other for two years and he hasn't seen her for a year. Not Believable, not real. Supposedly, he has written a book on Entropy and Enthalpy, yet we never see him write or read or discuss any of his interests in Physics with her, not that she would be able to handle the discussion. We learn that a watermelon in L.A. costs $50, (It wasn't the Silicon Type mind you) he has no problem affording that Fruit. We also learn that the airport shuts down when a few really really fake snow flakes fall off the sky. I'm Sorry but was that in L.A. too?We never see how these two characters survive, we never see them at work. We never see them struggle, They are always on vacation. They have infinite time, they have no worries whatsoever. Nice life. Unreal life. Unreal Characters. Bad Title. Bad Movie.

During the Cinequest film festival in San Jose in March, the film I had intended to see had been cancelled and I was given a ticket to see "All the Days Before Tomorrow" instead. I am so glad for that cancellation because this film turned out to be better than I could have ever expected! I loved each moment as much as every other and I hoped it would never end. I returned to see it two more times during the festival and loved it more each time. The plot was engaging, innovative and flowed beautifully and confidently. Each scene followed the last with perfect timing and I was able to follow along even though the film was centered around one current time period and two flashback periods. That is how well the movie was done. Throughout three time sequences as well as intermittent dream scenes, I never once became lost. One of my favorite aspects of the film was the dream scenes of a main character. I loved the way that each one made me feel that I was experiencing my own dream, flowing exactly as a person's subconscious thoughts do. They were hysterical and yet inspiring and philosophical at the same time, and in only a few minutes. The choice of Richard Roundtree for the "dream gatekeeper" was a perfect choice and brought the character to life. The inventive names for each sequence (as well as the idea to give them names) were humorous and very original. The scenes gave a nice interlude between the intense and realistic "real life" happenings, and the black and white film used gave a wonderful contrast to the main color scenes, making it seem as though they were really "coming to life" from the dream state. The unique sequences were subtly poetic and gave so much to the film. They made me laugh and added a beautiful shot of quirkiness and surrealism to a very human story without ever going over the top. The way the movie's scenes were edited was masterful. For example, in one scene, a character is asked how she likes living in Tokyo, then it cuts to a scene of her sitting in a dim, uninviting room looking at things on a kitchen table, seeming very lonely and bored, then quickly returns to the conversation in which she replied something to say that she was lonely there. I felt like I was jumping into the characters' minds throughout the whole film, making everything seem real. Instead of giving the audience the entire background on the characters up front, the movie allowed you to discover their history slowly and in a way that made you always eager to know more. It was also amazing that the movie used so few characters yet had so much depth and richness to it. The script and plot were so high-quality that there was no need for extra characters to take up space and clutter the story. It was completely substantial with its core characters and events. The script was one of the most incredible parts of the film. Every word had significance and was completely originalthis was the opposite of most predictable, recycled B movies! The parts of the movie that were meant to be touching and emotional unfolded with words that carried every meaning that was intended and made me feel exactly what the character felt. Amazingly, the film could go from a profoundly meaningful scene to making me laugh the next second. The funny parts of the script were incredible, too. No stupid or boring jokes, but very original and subtle comedy that couldn't help but make you laugh and could appeal to any sense of humor. The script was one of the best parts of the film, and it is incredible that the film's director not only directed but wrote the outstanding screenplay as well. The acting was great, too! The actors were perfect for their parts and acted them with great precision. They portrayed the characters wonderfully and brought out the unique facets of their personalities that made them so incredibly irresistible as characters. During the movie, I wished they were friends of mine, and after it, I felt like they were! The actors did a fabulous job and I have to give them credit for that. The main characters, Wes and Alison, also had fantastic chemistry; I felt every single emotion and thought between them. That takes talented actors and an amazing screenplay, both which were very present in the film.

Great story , music and pictures . Fun to watch , fine humor , telling something about life we all experience . Francois Dompierre did very well for his first movie . Will be fun to watch him over the next few years . He has something to say - what a change from all those boring ,stupid and violent movies on the market today - . Long life to that new writer-director !The choice of music fits very well with the beauty of the images . That Gavin Kelly is very good also ...there are some great visual moments in that movie -Alison hand floating around outside the car (for example )- or the ways the beauty of the chosen location is presented .Alexandra Holden is great and take the whole screen for herself sometime -full of life-. I have enjoyed that refreshing movie very much . I only wish we could see more movies like that ,unfortunatly they are exceptions ....maybe that is why we like them so much when we find them...
