Molli and Max in the Future (2023)

We enjoyed this silly sci-fi low budget rom-com with snappy dialog starring Zosia Mamet and Aristotle Athari meeting each other repeatedly in the distant future. If you liked Mamet's Shoshanna in the series Girls, you will love her in this. Director/writer Michael Lukk Litwak makes his feature debut and admittedly based the idea on When Harry Met Sally (1989).

Alex Winkler's alternately trippy and jazzy score can be streamed on Apple Music. I'm going to try to remember to listen to it again.

Mamet was last blogged for The Boy Downstairs and I did not recognize Athari, despite his 20 episodes of Saturday Night Live in 2021-22 and two of Hacks this year. This is Winkler's fourth feature after dozens of shorts, videos, and TV shows.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics are eagerly looking ahead to this with a 98% average, while its audiences are a few steps behind at 89.

Jack and I watched it on Prime with our subscription way back on August 10. You can also rent it on Apple TV.
