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.

Richard Whittaker

Austin Chronicle

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.

Rated: 3/5

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

IndieWire

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.

Watch if you are a futurerama or rick and morty. I can't tell if this was supposed to be a mocking of rom com troupes or was just badly written.
