Absolutely adorable film. Clever and hilarious! Performances by Aristotle Athari and Zosia Mamet are nuanced and funny. Grace Kuhlenschmidt is superb. Molli and Max is an all-around great film and Direction by Michael Lukk is fantastic - I loved it!

Funny, witty, and wonderful time at the movies. Does a wonderful job of paying homage to Pryor Syfy movies and boy meets girl situations.

For the When Harry Met Sally, History of Future Folk, and Hitchhiker's Guide fans. I immediately wanted to watch this again when the credits rolled. Weird and funny and poignant, and full of incredible practical effects. The sets! The stop-motion! Please make more movies like this!

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.

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.

Rated: B-

This Sci-Fi Rom Com is literally out of this world. Director Michael Lukk Litwak goes retro-future inspired by When Harry Met Sally with clever comedic dialogue and imaginative visuals.

“Despite the hollow philosophizing, ‘Molli and Max in the Future’ offers a surrealistic blend of popcorn entertainment and classic Hollywood appeal.”
