Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 10/24/2013
3.5/5
In the complexly stoic Martelli and masterfully craggy, haunted Hauer, an alluringly opaque pas de deux of loss and uncertainty is wonderfully realized. Go to Full Review Noel Murray The Dissolve 10/24/2013
4/5
Il Futuro is a playful, soulful movie, affecting because it's populated by lost children who can somehow sense they're in a movie. Go to Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times 09/06/2013
4/5
Ms. Scherson's style - backed wholeheartedly by the cool cinematography of Ricardo de Angelis - may value mood over information, but it's the perfect vehicle for a portrait of two damaged souls grasping for a security they no longer possess. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 08/23/2019
While intriguing, and at moments, striking, there's an unfortunate distance from the events and characters in Scherson's film, and an undeniable indifference to what's unfolding before us. Go to Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian 11/14/2013
2/5
There are some interesting plot points and decent performances, particularly from Martelli, but the ending doesn't really bring Scherson's ideas together in an impactful way. Go to Full Review Travis Hopson Examiner.com 11/11/2013
3.5/5
One can choose to indulge in the sci-fi flights of fancy seeding Alicia Scherson's Il Futuro (The Future), or become engrossed in its mercurial, hypnotic theme of sexual discovery. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

03/28/2015 A predictable movie which depicts a depressing Rome. The storyline is weak, and really leads nowhere. Rutger Hauer performance though, albeit short, is remarkable. See more 01/24/2015 Basada en "Una Novelita Lumpen" de Bolaño, este melodrama italiano-chileno parte de una premisa prometedora y naufraga cuando su directora atrapada en sus propios guiños estilísticos es incapaz de decidirse entre cerrar la trama o escapar vía una nebulosa alegoría filosófica. See more 05/03/2014 A slow Italian drama worth watching for the sexy Martelli, and a ghostly Hauer. See more 01/19/2014 Scherson's style is at once both gripping and unpretentious, leaving us with broken portraits of broken people. The lack of a classical climax only further bolsters the overall theme: waking reality always pales in comparison to the idyllic dream we all hold onto - that somehow we can go back and change the past, that somehow what we experience everyday cannot possibly be real.
