Review of Tomorrow (1972) by Tim S — 18 Aug 2012
TOMORROW is a very young Robert Duvall at his most powerful; it is Robert Faulkner (story by); it is Ansel Adams (stunning but stark black-and-white cinematography). Though from a Faulkner story, it could as easily have been by Flannery O'Connor or Eudora Welty-- it has some of that raw power and charm.
Duvall is on record as saying he considers this one of his finest performances, in this reviewer's judgment even exceeding that in Tender Mercies. This is a great (as in superlative and timeless) movie, building with exquisite slowness, like a Bruckner symphony, to build a meditative cinematic masterpiece.
Still mostly undiscovered, it will have a renascence someday. Recommended in the highest terms.
