Her story unfolds during an eighteen hour period, on Halloween. Providing counsel on the fateful day are her husband, her father-in-law, three deceased relatives, a precocious nine-year-old trick-or-treater, her grandfather from Minot, North Dakota, and a six year old neighbor, who may or may not be imaginary. "Molly's Theory of Relativity" is about the economy, and how we value what we do for a living, to ourselves and to 6 others. It's observes the unbreakable bonds of family, and posits the notion that death is merely a relative thing.(c) Adopt films

Critic Reviews
-
Mark Olsen, Los Angeles Times
Something of an intriguing, if not entirely successful, exoticism.
-
John Anderson, Newsday
For all of "Molly's" naturalistic, low-budget indie ambience, the film is a fantastical curiosity, whose indulgences will try one's patience.
-
Farran Smith Nehme, New York Post
"Molly's Theory of Relativity" is anti-cinema.
-
Stephen Holden, New York Times
"Molly's Theory of Relativity" shows how our parents live inside us, and how our relationships with them continue to evolve even after they're gone.
-
Scott Foundas, Village Voice
Lipsky is clearly reaching for something grand and cosmic here, but the results are mostly just confounding.
