Molli and Max in the Future

I'm smiling & laughing the whole way through. This totally deserves a higher score... Low-budget effects just add to the charm. If you like Futurama & Hitchhiker's...then what are you waiting for??? The female lead strongly reminds one of Sarah Silverman in both looks and manner...not that it matters...just sayin.

I caught this today at the London Film Festival and went in blind, not really knowing anything about it other than that it's been described as a sci-fi When Harry Met Sally. It's so much more than that though, but I don't want to risk spoiling the movie too much by explaining why, so all I will say is that this is a film which is incredibly inventive, and you can see it's a real labour of love as it's so playful and imaginative.

Best of all is the central romance however, and I say that as a die hard sci-fi / fantasy fan who loved the visual elements of the film. The central couple are given dialogue that made me laugh out loud an awful lot, and the performances are so strong that I fell in love with the characters very early on.

I'm a little wary of over praising this to the extent that people might have really high expectations of it, but despite that I can't help myself, and I had so much fun watching this movie that half way through I realised I was grinning inanely, and that didn't stop until the lights went up after the credits.

This is a low budget film so anyone going in expecting Marvel style cgi might be a little disappointed, but in many ways the lo-fi style and occasional stop motion sequences makes it all the more delightful, and as you can tell, I was well and truly charmed by this gem of a movie.

Snappy, thoughtful, and insightful dialog drives the audience through a surreal deep future. Science Fiction with a good dose of absurd fantasy and special effects that set the tone perfectly. Most immediately reminiscent of The American Astronaut (2001).

The level of absurd fantasy sci-fi in this movie is for anyone who likes Rick and Morty or Adventuretime; ridiculously sublime.

The music is a perfect jazz score. The acting is superb from those with one line to the main cast. Spot on delivery.

With a running time of a tight 90 minutes it left me wanting more, especially once treated to the outtakes that run through the credits. Some hilarious lines that didn't make it in.

First, this is a movie that requires you to pay close attention (or you will miss the laugh outloud jokes). Second, there is some subtlty that requires some thinking on the part of the viewer. There are no gratuitous sex scenes, no explosions, no car chases, no fight scenes (except some robot carnage!). It's all about the characters. There's a lot of social commentary as well that probably "cheeses" off a few people (you'll get the joke if you see the movie). I haven't laughed so hard at a movie in a very long time. The writing and comic timing is excellent. I thought the two main characters were fantastic and I hope to see more of both actors in other films.

This movie was a masterclass on acting and humor by Zosia Mamet. She was brilliant while this apparently low budget film was pretty dull in many other ways. The other actors were not very convincing in their roles. It is worth watching despite any failings. I also liked the demon Trump parody that was slipped in as a side story. If you like Doctor Who or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy you will probably enjoy the sillier aspects of the writing. It does a fairly good job as viewed as a rom com with an emphasis on the comedy. I wish the male lead had been a little stronger as an actor and comic.
