While Tomorrow was not my favorite movie, it was slightly entertaining. The movie did not keep to the script, but elaborated on Jackson Fentry's life. I personally liked the other part of the story better. I enjoyed how the attorney did some detective work on Fentry to figure out why he had stalemated the case. Faulkner did a good job of bringing everything together in the end, and I did not feel the same way with the movie. The court case seemed to be undermined by Fentry's mundane life.
The attorney barely makes it into the movie, and his nephew, who narrates Faulkner's version, is non-existent. The only really solid resemblance is when Sarah's brothers come to take away Jackson and Longstreet. I remember from the story Fentry ordering his son to run, but he doesn't and tries to help his father. I even felt like the actors hired for their parts looked more like southerners than Duvall did. Duvall's rendition of a southern man feels like it should be mocked in Scary Movie 5. His low mono-tone voice is different from all the other southerners, and seemed out of place.
