 What's up, everyone? Welcome to the brand new A24 movie review. Yes, I said A24. It's an indie film, and it's called Hot Summer Nights. Summer Nights, I was really liking the trailer a couple months back when they dropped, and I was like, man, you got Timothy Shalmit, Maliki Milovich, don't know how to say her name. I apologize full-heartedly, but I really do like her. It's like, man, you got a good cast. It looks like a nice coming-of-age film mixed with some dramatic elements that I can get into. It's produced by A24. That's even better because I'm a huge A24 fan, and I've seen the film now, and I gotta admit, disappointed. I honestly didn't like this film that much, and there were some moments that I did like, there are some good elements to the film overall, but overall, Hot Summer Nights very much disappointed me. The reason Hot Summer Nights ended up disappointing me is not because of the cast, because the cast does a fantastic job. Timothy Shalmit is fantastic in here. He's seriously one of the best up-and-coming actors, and same with Maliki Milovich, the girl, she's been in It Fall, she's been in a ton of other things, and she's so magnificent. She just bleeds off the screen. She's so wonderful, and their chemistry with one another is fantastic. Even all the other side characters in here do a fantastic job too. All the performances are great. I have no cons with the performances. Might I say, the way this film looks is exquisite. I said exquisite because it is one of the best-looking films I've seen this year. It's just the colors are vibrant. They pop off the screen. A lot of that goes to the cinematographer and the director, because without the directors, I am what the cinematographer can do with the director telling him what to have. Then you don't have a good-looking film. That's what I can say. The director did a good job with this film. I think he did a good job getting good performances and getting a good direction in how the film looks overall. But the thing the director I thought didn't do well is he did also write the script for this film, which is where a lot of my issues lie. Yes, the script's fine. The dialogue's good. Nothing cheesy, but the whole story overall just never engrossed me. I felt very bored at times. I even fell asleep probably once or twice to be completely honest. I hate saying that because film is an art culture, but I kept pretty whining. I'm a pretty awake guy at the time of watching this film, but I just couldn't get into the movie and the story they were telling. Yes, it's a coming-of-age story, but this coming-of-age story wasn't treating me anything. I couldn't get into it. I couldn't relate to any of the characters. Maybe that's just me. Maybe other people will be able to relate to these characters, but for me, I couldn't. It just fell into a very predictable and cliche way into the coming-of-age film, which didn't strike it into anything that's surprising or any way that could make it unique to other coming-of-age films that have come out. That's where I really fall down into hot summer nights. I don't think it's that well done of a film. I am looking forward to what the director does next with how the film looks and the good performances he got out of. Maybe he'll write a better script, or maybe he'll get someone else on board to write the script for him, and he'll take something from that end. Even having fantastic chemistry between all your main actors, this whole film and the story doesn't gravitate to me, and I'm not feeling entertained by it or even learning something or feeling relatable to the film at all. I kind of just fall apart with hot summer nights. With all that said, I'm gonna eat hot summer nights a D. Hate saying that and giving the film a D, but it's really what my heart's telling me to do. I wasn't really intrigued with this film. I wasn't interested in this film, and it really overall was a big disappointment to me.
