Tomorrow is Today is Film Making at it's Finest.

First, I must apologize if my comment comes off as too over the top. But how I feel about this movie is something I can not tone down! Tomorrow is Today is Film making at it's finest. I happened upon this film, through my membership to the Spiritual Cinema Circle, and I was blown away. It pulled me in and rocked me to the core. The beautiful, poetic, inspiring way this devastatingly heart wrenching story is told is amazing. The writing, direction, acting, cinematography--everything, is so powerfully moving there really are no words to describe it. I love a good cry, and that's just what this film evokes: a GOOD cry. For inter-weaved with the heartache & pain is hope, courage, and soul stirring inspiration. This movie has the biggest heart of any I've ever seen. I TRULY hope to one day see it on the big screen, because that is exactly where it belongs. Tomorrow is Today is a first-rate film that everyone should have the opportunity to experience.
