'Molli and Max in the Future' is a sci-fi romantic comedy about a man and woman whose orbits repeatedly collide over the course of 12 years, 4 planets, 3 dimensions and one space-cult.

Critics Consensus

More than making up in style and sheer creativity whatever it might lack in terms of budget, Molli and Max in the Future blends sci-fi and rom-com to wildly entertaining effect.

3/5

It’s that old equation of two people who are clearly too high-maintenance for anyone but each other, and that’s why Litwak isn’t afraid to use oh-so-familiar beats of the rom-com classics.

It’s all either whimsically charming or annoyingly cute, depending on your temperament.

B-

Even if its script hits familiar lulls and the actors lack the chemistry it would take to compensate, the mere fact that it got made is a testament to the type of indie film craftsmanship we should all be celebrating.

Absolutely adorable film. Clever and hilarious! Performances by Aristotle Athari and Zosia Mamet are nuanced and funny. Grace Kuhlenschmidt is superb. Molli and Max is an all-around great film and Direction by Michael Lukk is fantastic - I loved it!

It took a little warning up but once it got going it was fun in the cult classic kind of way

The acting is top-notch and the low budget special effects work well in this context. At times it seems like a spoof of other movies like When Harry Met Sally and Before Sunrise, but with hilariously improbable science fiction and fantasy shoveled in for comedy effect. And although the context is contrived, the issues they discuss and deal with are spot-on contemporary and relatable.
