    There's an unlikelihood so large in Future Weather that it nearly derails the film. That was what I admired the most about it.

    Centered around a quietly spectacular performance by young Perla Haney-Jardine, Future Weather integrates a green message into a striking and emotional drama about intergenerational female conflict.

    [A] tiny, beautifully acted movie.

    The movie works best as a calling card for young Haney-Jardine, whom we can surely expect to see more of on the festival circuit.

  1. A lovely story about a young girl who deals with her domestic troubles by taking an overenthusiastic interest in the environment. It's great all around, the plot develops slowly letting you absorb all that is going on and doesn't at any point seem tacky or unreal. The only critique I'd have about it, is the title. The title makes it seem like it's a documentary movie when honestly it has very little to do with the subject of Global Warming or weather, the story is mainly focuses on the characters and their situation. To sum up, a really good movie which I'd recommend to anybody who likes low-budget indie movies which have real substance. Expand
