"Brandishes poetic insights and imaginative flights." - Hollywood Reporter
Miranda July's highly anticipated new film occupies the same playful and offbeat universe as her acclaimed debut feature, Me and You and Everyone We Know (MIFF 2005).
Sophie (July) and Jason (Hamish Linklater) live in a tiny apartment, nurse chronic internet addictions and spend their thirty-something existence avoiding responsibility. But when they decide to adopt the terminally ill cat (and the film's narrator) Paw Paw, they realise their they are sacrificing their freedom, to become set and predictable. With 30 days until the cat arrives, they decide to take drastic action: to throw caution to the wind and to see what the universe has in store for them.
An inspired exercise in magic realism, The Future is a bittersweet film about the unnerving possibilities of life and the relentless passage of time.
