Yesterday is a film about a mother infected with HIV and her struggles with life and living the remaining days of her life to the fullest.
Yesterday is definitely a commendable film. First thing to praise is the cinematography. Although it does not evoke some emotion in some way, it is just aesthetic and lighting seems to be in check. The film also did a good job in showing Zulu culture and village life.
The most commendable aspect of the film is definitely the acting. All the actors in the film, especially the lead female, gave unforgettable performances. The movie definitely has that dramatic air, but it is definitely not a Disney chaser. It stands on its own and in some way, it is a very beautiful Mother's Day treat.
Final say? Yesterday gives viewers a zoomed look of how HIV transcends across cultures and races. Everything is commendable, from cinematography, to the score, and to the acting. A beautiful film for Mother's Day, and also for the remaining 364 days of the year :-)
