Only Yesterday
Loved the scenic backdrops of this. Some of the most realistic and stunning use of color for the different countryside scenes throughout. It’s strange how the tiniest, or briefest moments from childhood can have such an effect on us many years later. 352
I think everybody can relate to what <PERSON> is going through, whether it be her in her adolescent years or as an adult finding herself again during her trip to the countryside. The film balances the flashbacks beautifully with the muted and lighter splashes of color of childhood, where making friends, having a crush, and battling the youngest sibling status is not easy. Yet, do all these small inconsequential bits and pieces from childhood play a bigger factor with our dreams and desires in adulthood? Only Yesterday takes you through just that with <PERSON>’s story, and has you inserting yourself in her story and reflecting on your own childhood, dreams, and what’s to come. 352
