Reception

[edit]

The film has a 91 percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 23 reviews.[2]

Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter gave the film a positive review and wrote, "...through the unpredictability of its two leads, Keener especially, and in the knotty connection between their characters, the movie gets under the skin and goes beyond the bromide-laden playbook."[3]

Peter Sobczynski of RogerEbert.com awarded the film three stars and wrote, "...a fairly smart and realistic depiction of two people consumed by grief, guilt, and loss and the misguided ways by which they attempt to come to terms with those feelings."[4]

Andrew Stover of Film Threat rated the film an 8 out of 10 and wrote, "Smoot and Irvine appreciate an exceedingly solemn tone and a measured pace. No Future is unassuming, truthful, and absorbing by virtue of the deeply sensitive performances..."[5]
