Watch The History of Future Folk For Free

hyped garbage

It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

I haven't laughed this hard watching a film for a long time. Not only are the musical performances incredible, but the story of love for music and family is incredibly touching. John Mitchell, thank you for putting time and effort into making a brilliant and humorous film. Nils d'Alaire your skills on the banjo are inspirational. When I can finally play I will cover your songs and smile with every note. Thanks for your sense of humour and your brilliant acting. Jay Klaitz your voice is incredible, so was that mustache. I'm sure you're a great assassin. HONDO!

I guess if you have seen this folksy duo play before -- and I am assuming they are real -- you might enjoy this nonsense, otherwise it has limited appeal. One of my criteria for a 4/10 movie rating is my being glad when the credits finally roll. Well, I could not wait for this misery to stop.I stuck with this film because of all the high ratings, but there was no reward forthcoming. This film is a glaring example of why movie ratings are so flawed. This is a weak film-school effort that in no way (on any planet) deserves the 7/10 and even 8/10 ratings posted. Take a pass on this one.

This movie shows what can be done with what is likely a bare-bones budget.Humorous, intelligent, metaphorical, this movie addresses, as all movies should, aspects of the human condition. The movie itself is well done and clearly done with very meager resources, but it touches on important parts of what makes humankind human, in particular humankind's ability to make music. Good sound track that may feature the actors themselves - I have not checked.Instead of the unbelievable sums of money spent on what is utter dross, a characteristic of all major movie studios/distributors in the USA, those same studios might fund or partially fund, in addition to distributing, gems such as this movie that are quirky, yet very well- done. This movie is not only entertaining, but it remarkably provokes, as all good art should, thinking in the viewer's mind about what it means to be a human being on the planet that humans call Earth.

Prelude to a review. Trepidation. Will this be some low budget dreck? Will I wish for my time back? Begin watching. Surprise ! Enjoyable. Good plotting. Timing excellent. Acting - low key, but fine for the movie. Sweet, but not sappy. I do not recall ever feeling a cringe or groan escaping my lips. ... [] The movie takes us on a complete journey, giving us the beginning, middle and happy ending. (I warned about spoiling it) No set up for sequels, no major plot holes, no annoying shaky cam and no mindless CGI FX filler. ... [] It is not easy to pigeon hole this movie. It has comedy, music, dance, sci-fi humor, and heart. For more technical details one might check the internet. As to the entertainment value, it rates a solid 10 out of 10. [] No clichés were injured or killed in the making of this movie.
