Ainouz ends his film with a poetic flair that feels right. You have to just let it wash over you, like the waters of a familiar beach.
David Lewis, San Francisco Chronicle

Balancing its abstract storytelling with commanding visuals (by the gifted cinematographer Ali Olcay Gozkaya), "Futuro Beach" explores liberation and reinvention, the tug of familiarity versus the allure of the foreign.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

Futuro Beach is as strong on texture as narrative.
