Futra Days follows Sean, a jaded record producer who attempts to fix his troubled relationship with Nichole by signing up for an experimental time-travel clinic. The narrative explores themes of love and despair, echoing styles reminiscent of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Despite an intriguing premise, the film falls into maudlin conversations without fully developing characters, giving way to a jumbled chronology. Stylistic choices, such as excessive voiceover and visual glitches, detract from the story rather than enhance it, diminishing the emotional impact of the characters' journey.
"Ryan David's sophomore effort is just a bit too infatuated with itself, running time-travel rings around a dysfunctional relationship."
"The opening is a kaleidoscopic blitz that sets a promisingly dislocated tone for what is shaping up as an Eternal Sunshine-style breakdown of disintegrating love."
"Sean crashlands back into the wreckage of their mutual contempt in the present, appearing to have a psychogenic fugue into another reality."
"Chronology is sloppy and semi-logical; David overcompensates with highfalutin philosophic voiceover and unnecessary stylistic fussing."
