Relax, I'm from the Future

Rhys Darby consistently flies in the face of cliche (acting, writing).

However there's still cliche drama in this.

Rhys Darby owns "electric" so much that he fits in with any smooth actor, providing natural drama this way no matter what the subject or story. This is true drama.

However there's still forced "frenemy" style drama. Two characters that are supposed to get along (because they live together) ignoring/twisting points of view only to generate argument.

Most of film is story based with natural social drama & character, so it works.

It's not shot to be replayed, scene length isn't right, key drama points aren't totally believable.. but it won't ruin your evening.

Ok, there's going to be a bunch of people who hate this film, but to be honest, it's got "cult film in the making" qualities, and this will be watched for years to come.

It's proper quirky and deals with the whole time travelling meddler in a fresh new way. I don't want to give anything away, so I wont.

There's fresh faces in this, no big named actors that have been in a thousand things, which is refreshing in every way. The humour is tinged in just the right amount of darkness, which is great but understated.

After watching lots of 'mainstream' films recently, this little gem was an absolute relief to watch.

Darkly humorous and quirky, this movie keeps you on your toes (and laughing) throughout. Incredible performances from the whole cast, and particular props to Rhys Darby for making what could have been a dislikeable character absolutely charming. Julian Ritchings is also at his finest, bringing depth to a complex character with some extemely funny moments. This was the first thing I've seen Gabrielle Graham in, but she was incredible and I look forward to hopefully seeing her in many more movies to come!

I saw this at a film festival when it first started premiering last year, and I've been waiting for it to get a wider release so I could convince everyone I know to go watch it, because I knew I had a ton of friends who would like it.

It effectively captures the emotions of the story and elevates the feelings of the audience. The plot is well-written, with a good balance of humor, drama and romance. The film is a unique blend of science-fiction, fantasy, and adventure that sets itself apart from other films in its genre. The characters are diverse and well-developed, each with their own unique skills and personalities. The audience can't help but root for them as they navigate the challenges of the labyrinth and work together to uncover its secrets. I highly recommend this film to anyone needing a laid back comedic and heartfelt film!

The film starts out with a seemingly simple premise: a time traveler from the future comes back to present-day Toronto to fix world-changing mistakes. But the film keeps surprising us. Maybe people's motivations aren't what they appear to be. Maybe time travel is more common than we realize. Maybe "everything's gonna be okay" means different things to different people. Rhys Darby, as Casper, is hilarious, infuriating, and loveable. Gabrielle Graham has a breakout role as Holly, a jaded young punk who has to wrestle with how much of the world's burdens she has to take onto her leather-clad, spiky shoulders. And Julian Richings shows how much circumstances can change a person's trajectory.
