See You Yesterday

Now streaming on Netflix, the movie's main character is Claudette, a brilliant young high school student who is a math and science wiz, and is bound for greatness at MIT, or whatever school she chooses.

Claudette and her best friend Sebastian are working on a project that should take the upcoming STEM category by storm: time travel.

The film is set in modern times, and includes current issues in the United States, namely violence against communities of color by the police.

The movie is a bit like "Groundhog Day", with Claudette and Sebastian jumping back in time on several occasions.

While the premise is exciting, the film is upsetting, and it needs to be. While upsetting, the film leaves the viewer wanting more.

A poignant movie with a stellar cast, including a surprise cameo by "Back to the Future" star Michael J. Fox, produced by Spike Lee, now on Netflix. Two stars.
