Movie Review
Grade: B+
Yesterday was nominated for Best Foreign Picture in 2005, the first ever nomination for South Africa. I placed it on my Netflix list almost immediately, but it took me a few years to get around to boosting the film to the top of my list. After all, AIDS movies get old after a while, and I've seen my fair share. That being said, Yesterday is a refreshing and simple tale about a mother who is determined to see her child get an education.
