What to Know

Critics Consensus

See You Yesterday marries a novel sci-fi premise with urgent social relevance and forges something excitedly new from the union -- providing an impressive showcase for star Eden Duncan-Smith and debut writer-director Stefon Bristol.

Maya Phillips

The New Yorker

Though the movie encounters some of the usual pitfalls of time-travel plots (predictability, muddled rules) and sports some hokey, eighties-style special effects, what it offers in terms of diversity and messaging is a treasure.

Soraya Nadia McDonald

Andscape

No matter the inspired cinematography or considered, authentic performances, these stories carry a weight of inevitability as they suck every particle of hope out of the air.

Adam Graham

Detroit News

The teenagers speak with authentic voices, and Bristol builds a believable world for them (they conduct their science experiments inside Sebastian's grandmother's garage) without bogging them down in science.

Rated: B

Daniel Hart

Ready Steady Cut

See You Yesterday is colorful and fun, but it also manages to achieve some critical themes, giving the film a different genre, almost.

Rated: 3.55

A very different blend [of genres]... I think for the most part it's unsuccessful.

Robert Roten

Laramie Movie Scope

This movie has a very attractive cast of talented young actors who go a long way towards making this downbeat story more palatable. It was also a treat to see the most famous time traveler of all in the film, Michael J. Fox.

Rated: B

dreamqueen d It’s a good movie,it worth to watch Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/09/24 Full Review Mikko Aquila N This movie was a disaster, at first it really got my hopes up but then the movie was slow. The characters were awful and there were multiple plot holes in the movie. The worst part was that the movie ends for no reason at all. The movie had potential but they just threw it all off. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 08/28/24 Full Review Andrei Z Awful, everything was awful. The science was awful, the plot was awful, the characters were awful. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/11/24 Full Review Paul P They started with a half baked story line and never finished baking it. Some of the acting was great... some of it was 1000% overacted. Not the worst thing I've ever watched, but it started nowhere, went nowhere and finished nowhere. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/09/23 Full Review Tony K The only plus of the movie (although it's hard to call it a movie, rather an extended pilot of the TV show) is a cameo by Michael J. Fox Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/01/23 Full Review Tiffany C Worst ending of all time because there was no ending. They could've made this movie so good and they just quit. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
