Mar 18, 2019 Hot Summer Nights. Aunque se trata de una trama ya vista con anterioridad la película está muy buena. Tensión, romance, y una banda sonora que le roncan los motores. Vale la pena verla. See more

Albus G Feb 24, 2019 Oh its not too bad. So great bits. Just peters out by the end. And has a horrible filter.

Poe R Feb 24, 2019 Fair enough. Timmy stands out.

Finn S Dec 23, 2018 The story was definitely not original and the script was also pretty bad, but the first two thirds were enjoyable. It was only the last third that kind of dragged, with a not-so-great ending. Nonetheless, the chemistry between Timothee Chalamet and Maika Moore is electric and the soundtrack is also pretty great, so still worth a watch. A solid 3 star film. See more

Hagrid S Dec 10, 2018 The screenplay is thin and the it's clear first-time writer/director Elijah Bynum knows his kernel of an idea his debut film centers around runs out of steam too early which is why he tries to supplement the narrative with this air of myth. Bynum plays his story through the younger eyes of an omnipotent onlooker and therefore sees the main characters as these unattainably cool figures. This perspective works to a certain extent as it serves the embellished tone of this early nineties set period piece and lends the events this fable-like quality in which the viewers feel privileged to be privy to such events given these people are and forever will be cooler than the narrator or ourselves could ever hope to be. Timothï¿ 1/2 (C)e Chalamet and Alex Roe each turning in varying degrees of charismatic performances for, despite the script running out of gas sooner than need be-the characters are drawn well enough that this odd couple pairing each of whom find themselves in a forbidden romance of sorts remains intriguing enough to keep us glued to the magic of summer's past and leave us needing more; wanting to go back. Maika Monroe and Maia Mitchell also make strong showings as stock characters meant to be stock characters that strike out of such confines to become something else entirely. Monroeï¿ 1/2(TM)s McKayla, a deity among the local teenage boys, is more successful in this regard given she is the crux of the emotional state of both lead male characters whereas Mitchellï¿ 1/2(TM)s Amy, the daughter of a local fearmongering cop (Thomas Jane), is little more than a target for Roeï¿ 1/2(TM)s Hunter to make an objective. The relationships are properly affecting though and the film builds to a nice culmination of its disparate strands about halfway through before devolving into more of those stereotypes that it attempts to upend to varying degrees of success. Hot Summer Nights is an ode to days gone by, to the way drugs were run, and to friendships that couldnï¿ 1/2(TM)t survive the rise, but for all its energy and style there is little substance beyond the surface level intrigue of boy meets girl, boy sells drugs, bad shit happens. This affair is vastly improved by the fact Emory Cohen (Brooklyn) shows up in a few scenes. So, more Emory Cohen in everything please. See more

Nov 22, 2018 Uncontinuous story, visually weak for moments, but Chalamet's performance is catchy
