Arriving just in time for Valentine’s Day is our next Big Movie Watch! This time, Kanopy’s film club is bringing viewers Molli and Max in the Future. This sci-fi romantic comedy is about Molli (Zosia Mamet) and Max (Aristotle Athari), whose orbits repeatedly collide over the course of 12 years, 4 planets, 3 dimensions and 1 space-cult. Set a billion years in the future, Molli and Max in the Future is When Harry Met Sally but with magic, sentient robots, and demigods. What’s not to love? 

From Feb. 7-17, 2025, Kanopy users at US and Canadian libraries will be able to watch the 2023 sci-fi romantic comedy Molli and Max in the Future through their public library ticket-free!
