‘Things Will Be Different’ Review: A Time-Travel Thriller With A Twist – Overlook Film Festival


‘Things Will Be Different’ review: A time-travel thriller with a twist – Overlook Film Festival

Exec-produced by filmmaker duo Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, and written/directed by their longtime editor Michael Felker, Things Will Be Different — as its title suggests — has an even more rarefied take, using time as a hiding place, a surreal and ingenious conceit that adds a creepy air of mystery to its otherwise solidly sci-fi scenario. As is the case with Benson and Moorhead’s own projects, Felker’s film comes with a whole unseen backstory that could probably sustain a feature-length prequel: a brother and sister — Joseph (Adam David Thompson) and Sidney (Riley Dandy) — arrange to meet at a remote diner after carrying out a robbery of some kind. Title: Things Will Be Different Sales agent: XYZ Director/screenwriter: Michael Felker Cast: Adam David Thompson, Riley Dandy, Chloe Skoczen, Justin Benson, Sarah Bolger Running time: 1 hr 42 min
