No Future

Its as addictive as real life addictiveness, therefore beware and behold to not be alone when watching this, if you are on the skid row, have been on it in your past, or if you as a parent has lost a child due to medical or drug addictiveness, because this is heartwrenching, extremely realistic scenario of the psychosociodynamics around life and death due to addictiveness. See the film and you will soon realize if your strong enough to tiptoe yourself through this, i did, and as a grumpy old man that have had family members skidding, fortunately they are still alive, but cronically anxious to fall of the wagon again, therefore i felt the clamp and cramp in my heart of this story.

The plotpace are very slow, but thats done intentionally. Its an average produced film with noextending technical features, and the wave ofhunger, shame and guilt is solely done by the main cast, with catherine keener as the mourning mum(oscar worthy), and her boys childhood friend will played by charlie heaton. They do the acts with bravour...

i guess lots of clean people will find this just above feature lenght film boring and daft, so let them be so,and pray that they will never slide the skidrow themselves. Its a curricullum worthy silver screen product that willset out emotions, and will occur inyour dreams in the aftermath.a huge recommend for ''no future''

It's beautiful, real, sad and depressing. Screenplay is so simple yet so emotional and heartwarming. It tackles some serious issues as well. Performances are superb by everyone. It's very good but not everyone's cup of tea.

A life with drug addiction. The usual AAA style confessional group settings. Nothing much happens in this addicts daily life; the usual relationship issues. You decide the ending.

I saw this at the Tribeca film festival, and thought it was very good. Heart-wrenching with solid acting. Well done!

The intentions and ambitions of this movie are both fine and relevant, but it didn't quite have the script and the cast to achieve them. Charlie Heaton playing the main character Will was the only one appearing as a professional actor, while the remaining cast clearly struggled to look like real actors. Catherine Keener as Claire by far has the weakest performance, mumbling all her lines with the same dull look in each and every scene, no matter what is going on. The chemistry between her and Heaton is zero. Why is the young Will suddenly attracted to this old worn-out mamma - even drunk - with absolutely no lead-up or any clues as to what drives him physically or emotionally. Having a nice and caring girlfriend making much more sense as his partner in every which way. This major plot hole is never explained. Trying as it may, the movie never succeeds in triggering any particular emotions. It is supposed to be depressing; it just doesn't have the believable script and cast to carry it through. The Metascore of 65 is grossly misleading; it is rather a 48-movie. Probably it is due to the theme of addiction that it got that score; not because of the artistic qualities that it doesn't have.
