Relax, I'm From the Future is the feature debut of writer/director Luke Higginson, and is based on his TIFF-featured 2013 short film of the same name. Self-described as a "dirtbag time travel comedy", Relax stars the comedic absurdist genius, Rhys Darby. Darby leads as the stuck-in-the-past protagonist but in this case, his "past" is present-day Toronto.

A sci-fi comedy with a modest sense of humor but tangled message to share with humankind.

Almost a slacker movie at heart, Relax, I'm from the Future does make an effort to utilize Casper's future-world wisdom to point out more than just the results of major sporting events.

Relax, I’m From the Future fares best in its appealing, oddball opening stretch...

3/5

A quickly paced slice of silly speculative fiction buoyed by the energetically off-kilter comedy stylings of Rhys Darby. He’s an edgy Mork from Ork, an otherworldly being, charmingly childlike but not above doing the drugs Holly offers him.

B+

Not so much a sci-fi story as an absurdist’s approach to the whole paradoxical nature of the concept of time travel. It’s a film that gives us permission to say, ‘To hell with it all’ and just accept the story instead of dwelling on it.

By the time the film drags to its conclusion, the frenetic anything-goes energy of its first act is long forgotten and the only way to get that good feeling back is to travel back to the beginning.
