Watch Il Futuro online Synopses:
When their parents die, Bianca and Tomás are owners of their destiny. They receive a visit from a clerk from the social security service, when she agreed to give all responsibility of their situation to the young Bianca. Both kids attended a local school, but the circumstances led them to abandon their studies: Bianca starts working as a hairdresser, and Tomás gains a position as a clerk of a local gym. Soon, the hazards of the world appeared, as two "friends" of Tomas from the gym propose Bianca to develop a secret plan to sneak into the house of a retired actor, Maciste. The orphans explore the dangerous streets of adulthood, until Bianca meets Maciste, and enters his dark mansion in search of her future.
Watch Il Futuro online review:
Il Futuro has received mainly positive reviews from critics, as it currently holds an 87% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 15 reviews.
Bill Weber of Slant Magazine gave the film two out of four stars, saying "Il Futuro is a well-crafted 'literary' film in mostly counterproductive ways. Following a dubiously motivated opening homage to the aerial highway shot that begins The Shining, the film is a good-looking series of ambitious tropes and contrivances that don't seem to express much significance, even when it settles into its own haunted-house setting halfway through."
