Leave your thoughts about The Future.
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonI find her movies passively amusing, but not particularly deep or memorable. |
| CinemaBlendKatey RichBriskly paced and very funny, The Future sneaks up on you with its weight, landing a series of devastating punches near the end that also don't belie the film's witty assessment of human faults. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA daring, brilliant, profound and visionary modern masterpiece. It will go down as a classic. |
| Boston PhoenixPeter KeoughThe cat keeps one engaged until July's initially twee-seeming sensibility coalesces into a genuine, if peculiar, mood of tragedy. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellA talking cat and moon and a restless T-shirt distract from the story, creating what July intends as interesting textures but instead come across as a form of vandalism. |
| Observer (UK)Philip FrenchIt's parodic Sundance independent cinema - pure, aimless, triple-brewed whimsy. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittYou may have heard that a cat narrates "The Future" and, yes, that sounds like it would be deadly. But it isn't. |
| CultureCatchBrandon JudellMs. July reclaims the glory she first garnered for her prize-winning feature debut Me and You and Everyone We Know (2005). Also a performance artist and a short story writer, she is very much the ovaries' answer to Woody Allen. |
| Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)Ken HankeYes, it's creative and well done, but it finally left a bitter taste and I found it utterly depressing. |
| FilmsInReview.comVictoria AlexanderThe writer/director/star is enchanted with herself. I hated the cat. |
