I find Miranda July and most of her artistic efforts charming, so I liked it, but man, this is definitely a niche film that most people are going to hate.

30larındaki bir çift bu yaşa nasıl geldiklerini sorgulamaya başlarlar. ve olaylar gelişir...

starts well but drags later (addition: the book 'It Chooses You' is definitely more absorbing. the movie grows deeper retrospectively after reading it)

I love Miranda July, but this film felt disingenuous and somewhat unbelievable.

5- worth experiencing, alright

wtf?

This movie had so much potential, and I respect Mirandy July for that. But the end product could have been much better. I really didn't care about Sophie at all. Jason was mildly interesting. But I loved the cat. I cried so much over its fate. This could have been a wonderful short film with just the cat voiceover.

An insufferable film with a forced eccentricity that is so fucking pointless and not to mention highly annoying. Did Miranda July really think that the stupid talking cat voice was a good idea?

This hipster indie satire quickly plummets into the darkest whimsy. I'm a happily married old guy who has worked at the same job for thirty years, with two grown sons and three well-cared-for cats, so I'm not the ideal audience, but watching this movie filled me with feelings of sadness and helplessness for an entire evening and part of the next morning too, so I can't deny that it has considerable power. Loved the cat, hated the people . . . was this how I was supposed to feel?

What begins as a typical comedy about neurotic young people suddenly veers into straight-faced, melancholic surrealism in the manner of Synecdoche N.Y.

Endless suffering of Virginia Woolf. For the surreal aspects, try rather The Science of Sleep.

film fena ama kimi yerleri biraz agir ve ne anlatmak istedigini unutuyor. avrupa sinemasina alisin olmayanlar bu los angeles filmini sevmeyebilirler. ama yine de cesur.

Too self-consciously quirky for its own good, but quite enjoyable nevertheless.

This film wrenched my heart and soul more than I expected. Definite change of atmosphere from July's debut film. There was a unique realism between the characters, and it sets you up, just to fall, perfectly. It has a lingering effect to. Basically, I loved it.

08 Ekim 2011, filmekimi & miranda july'nin ilk isini oldukca aratiyor. Bilindik cumlelerin ozgun (gibi duran) paketlenmis hali. film baslarda iyi dursa da ilerledikce dagiliyor.

Playful, radical, and creatively inspiring.

It's the ultimate hipster film of the year, blending a romance for losers with a Charlie Kaufman/Amélie Poulain-kind-of-fantasy. Crap, just crap.

Liked this a lot more than I probably should have, talking cat included.

"A combination of morbid self-absorption and playful quirk, The Future manages to botch both aspects." - Andrew Schenker

A fantastic character piece with just the right amount of surreal. Engaging and funny from start to finish.

No other film manages to quite nail the unique weirdness of a relationship like this one. Actually it makes you ask yourself "what am I doing here? Everything is weird?" I like that. Surprisingly poignant. But it wasn't that memorable after all?

If this is The Future, then I can only hope The Present comes crashing down around us before we all regress into navel-gazing hipster urchins...or worse yet, talking cats.

Loved the buried girl scenes, the dancing scenes. Unsettling, funny, and resonant.

Incredibly inaccessible, with a large portion of emotional involvement muddled under the seemingly purposefully confusing narrative. Clever dialogue amongst irritating scenes and amongst indiscernible characters. I liked the cat segments though, however I hear a lot of people are furiously against it.

I'm a bit baffled by the reactions to this film and the truly stupid copy written to promote it. If this is a drama, then I'm a pipe. Far funnier and memorable than Me You and Everyone We Know, I, unfortunately, recognize these characters, and I hate them. But, I think that's the point.

In which a couple in their mid-thirties realizes that none of their aspirations have been fulfilled – and the dread of aging like this makes their following decisions all the more unsettling. With awkward, metaphorical and surreal bits and (performance) pieces July tries to express how we live today. And because it’s so open and so true, its weirdness becomes the opposite of hipster poses.

Yeah, I mean this is what it is, whatever that means (I guess here it means falling short of the poignancy it hopes to achieve and being a little annoying, but still being funny and enjoyable), but I feel like there may be no filmmaker in the world right now with better intentions than Miranda July. And that goes a long fucking way.

There's something very strange about a hipster-as-fuck film, with an unbearable lead performance, that ranges from being insufferable to dragging its heels to the finish line...but yet, can make me feel genuine emotion for a person in a cat suit that narrates sections of the film. Unfortunately, it's the worst kind of strange.

I'm not a fan of Miranda July's quirky cuteness so I didn't expect to like it. But being the same age and living in a similar situation as the couple in the film, some of it resonated with me. I can't see it speaking to people who are much younger or much older or not mildly retarded, though.

Well, I mean...absolutely hipstery as shit. Like I mean god damn. But it feels like it comes from a genuine place rather than just quirky for the sake of it. Some bits (like the fucking cat) were just too over-the-top, and July should stop acting in her own films, but I found myself enjoying these pathetic characters crappy attempts to break out of middle-aged inertia.

Okay, I'm gonna be honest here, I haven't finished this movie. About 10 minutes in I wanted to turn it off but decided to wait a little longer. Got to 30 minutes and I couldn't take it anymore. I haven't been so annoyed watching a movie before. I had never heard of Miranda July before this, I'm not cultured, who cares. But let it be known that I won't be watching anymore of her movies if they're gonna be this useless. And her voice for the cat was just downright creepy.

Hard to score, because Miranda July faild to acomplish, what she wanted to acomlish. However, she created something here.... something very gloomy... Loved the talking cat.
