Review of Yesterday (2019) by Scraper — 15 Jul 2019

Conversations in the movie are interrupted about twenty times by a phone ringing or someone walking in to the room by accident. It became hilarious how often this happened. Yesterday is the kind of movie that is so poorly written and trite that it takes an act of will to make it through.

The only reason plot lines aren't sewn up quickly is because the main character is made to stutter when trying to express himself. If he, or anyone else, is about to say something meaningful they're interrupted.

Yesterday takes the easy, predictable route at every turn. This was a concept in the ledger of a corporate studio exec, thrown out to a group of staff writers who cranked it out never daring to touch a risk, introspection, or explain much of anything.
