Lloyd (Robert Blanche) has just been released from prison, and he makes
a very honest effort to leave his criminal past behind - and part of that
effort is to make up to his daughter Iris (Bethany Jacobs), a woman whom
he has never been there for in the past, and who has long broken off all
contact with him. Heck, she even didn't let him know she got married - of
all people to a cop, Bobby (Grant Davis). So when Lloyd finally decides to
come into her life, she's less than ecstatic (to put it politely), so much
so that she tries to shake him - at first even successfully, but he's
persistent in a very honourable way. And eventually she realizes she needs
him - or rather a father figure she never had, and since he's really
trying ... Thing is, Iris's relationship with Bobby has taken a turn for
the worse lately, he has taken to drinking heavily, and has on occasions
been hitting her, something he hasn't done until recently. So Iris asks
Lloyd for comfort and advice, and he really tries to help - even if one of
his attempts ends in an altercation. And that's not even when things go really
bad ... A very well-crafted drama, Tomorrow, Maybe works
quite as beautifully because it doesn't kick the melodramatics into full
gear beginning to end but puts an emphasis on subtext while making sure
not to hammer anything home (which is of course mirrored in the
intentionally vague title) but give its characters depth and fallability.
This is of course chiefly thanks to a well-written screenplay, but that
said, the directorial effort really helps here, focusing on subtlety
rather than spectacle, and the ensemble cast is very likeable (or at least
relatable) to really make this movie work like a charm.
