My Future You

Crisanto B. Aquino's 2024 Filipino film follows Karen and Lex, who meet on a dating app. When they begin talking they discover there is a fifteen-year gap between them; the connection runs through a comet and its duration is limited. The film turns its fantastical setup into a relationship story. The two try to fix their own futures by changing the past, but every intervention produces an unexpected result and the narrative shows this by repetition. Francine Diaz and Seth Fedelin lead. The workings of the time rules are inconsistent and the final section skips several explanations. Against that, the relationship the two build without ever seeing each other is what works best. Who it's for: those who like Filipino romantic fantasy. Who it's not for: viewers looking for a consistent time travel plot; the film does not sustain its rules.
