The film "Yesterday's Children" is a 2000 tv movie, directed by Marcus Cole. It was written by Jenny Cockell (author of the book of the same title and involved in the tv series "Strange But True" presented by Michael Aspel), Sarah Bird (who worked on tv series "Hawkeye") and Richard Leder (also worked at 2019 "Primal"). It stars Jane Seymour, Clancy Brown and Kyle Howard.
An English housewife Jenny keeps having disturbing dreams of a vivid place and it's people. She becomes obsessed that it's real place and draws it, learning pieces each time she has more visions. When she puts some of the pieces of the mystery together, she believes it's an actual location found in Ireland. Jenny also comes to realise she might've been reincarnated and that her past life was the reason behind her visions, which were memories.
This is a well made supernatural mystery. Her patient and sceptical husband doesn't believe her while her spoilt teenaged son turns understanding and helps her on her new quest of discovery. The film is pleasant, atmospheric, creepy in places, although very well made. It's based on the book "Yesterday's Children" by Jenny Cockell who had this experience. She lived as Mary Sutton in Ireland and this seemed to be either past life or a spirit of a woman reaching out through Jenny. I rate this intriguing story a 10/10 for warmth and elegance.
My personal likes is the scenery in Ireland and finding interesting answers.
My personal dislikes is the attitude of unsupportive grumpy husband.
