PRESS / REACTIONS:
CURRENTLY 98% ON ROTTEN TOMATOES!!!
-Slash Film - (8/10) - “As unique and boundlessly ingenious a film you'll find in today's media landscape…Michael Lukk Litwak will inspire generations of filmmakers to tell their stories with whatever means available because screenplays this expressive and fearless will forever shine like beacons of originality…”Molli and Max in the Future" will make you believe in a thing called love — just listen to the rhythm of this knockout indie's throbbing heart.”
- Roger Ebert - “Molli and Max in the Future” plays out like a genre hybrid of Wes Anderson, “The Fifth Element,” and “When Harry Met Sally.” “ A deeply likable film that’s not really like anything else out there”
- High on Films - "A Modern Comedy Classic"
- Film Threat - 9/10 - “a grand achievement in indie sci-fi filmmaking”
- Screen Anarchy - "A Sci-Fi Rom-Com Gem"
-Variety - “A clever, quirky take on the future.”
- The Playlist - “With its lo-fi sensibility and winning charm, “Molli And Max In The Future” remixes a genre classic that also offers a mild antidote for what ails current American cinema. And what’s the cure? Litwak takes the “green screen galore” template of the MCU (and so much other fare) and infuses it with heart and amateur spirit. This debut refuses to be just another extravagantly crafted, commercially calculated CGI-laden mega movie that amounts to a dead-eyed spectacle.”
- Mashable - “Molli and Max in the Future is an inventive, endearing, and entertaining movie. Blending sci-fi details with rom-com tropes and a sharp self-awareness, it charts a daring new path that makes it well worth the watching.“
- Projected Figures - “No matter how absurd the flights of fancy in Molli and Max in the Future, it is always grounded in character… This is a true labour of – and about – love that is out of this world.”
- Elements of Madness - Don’t mistake the fantastique setting as merely set dressing (practical and imaginative as it is), “Molli and Max” demonstrates that some love stories transcend time and place, everything else is just a foothold for the reality in which they live.
