"The Future" begins one afternoon on a sofa. Sophie and Jason, a 30-something couple in Los Angeles, realize that in one month, their lives will change radically when they pick up a stray cat they're adopting. Wanting to take advantage of their fleeting freedom, they quit their jobs, disconnect their Internet, and pursue new interests, all of which literally alter the course of time and space and test their faith in each other and themselves.

MOVIE REVIEW

Review by Nathan Samdahl (C)

In Miranda July's sophomore feature The Future, the director assembles an eccentric cast and story that is a mixed bag of successes and misfires.  While brimming with creativity, The Future feels forced in many ways, trying to incorporate elements of magical realism and a collection of offbeat moments that prove more distracting than anything else.
