Gary M. Kramer Philadelphia Gay News “Last Summer of Nathan Lee” wants to be life affirming — and it is — but for all its good intentions, it also lacks power. It will be feel good for viewers who feel something. Nov 21, 2023 Full Review Peter Martin ScreenAnarchy A tender-hearted film about teenagers who haven't yet figured out what they want to accomplish before they die is bracing in its quiet and kind contemplation of life ... creating a joyful, loving, and accepting environment.

Eduardo S I saw a screening of it last month in L.A. and loved it. I'm so tired of formulaic and predictable teen romps and was so happy that this has twists, surprises and unparalleled joy (considering the subject matter). See it with someone you love :) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Dennis E The reviews speak for themselves! I love it, but I'm a bit biased. If you like films like The Perks of Being a Wallflower, you'll love Last Summer of Nathan Lee. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
