Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com This is well-trod ground for Burns as a filmmaker (and in general), but there's no shame in well-trod ground, not if you care about the subject and present interesting characters, which Burns mostly does. Rated: 3/4 Aug 24, 2021 Full Review Johnny Loftus Decider Summer Days, Summer Nights is another ensemble cast homerun for director and writer Edward Burns, with hangout movie vibes for days and a wistfulness that recalls the foibles of young love.

Daniel B Summer Days, Summer Nights es hermosa, un homenaje espectacular a los 80’s. Un soundtrack hermoso, un diseño de producciĂłn nostĂĄlgico, y un grupo de protagonistas despreocupados que tendrĂĄn que redefinir su identidad despuĂ©s del verano; esta pelĂ­cula conserva lo mejor de cintas de dicha Ă©poca, todo encapsulado en un verano que les cambiarĂĄ la vida. Algo que me pareciĂł interesante de la pelĂ­cula fue el cĂłmo vuelven subjetivo el ”Sueño americano” visto desde cada uno de los POV de cada personaje, ya sea el crecer para madurar y tener una vida financieramente estable, el crecer para ser libres y seguir sus sueños, o simplemente que el plan no sea tener plan, ese conflicto interno de los protagonistas me parece que es el factor para que empaticemos con cada uno de ellos, esa inseguridad a la hora de saltar solos por primera vez. La introducciĂłn de la pelĂ­cula me pareciĂł fabulosa, un montaje brillante a la hora de introducir a cada personaje, con una canciĂłn que le da una personalidad Ășnica a cada escena y presenta a travĂ©s de ella la personalidad de cada personaje. Para mi cada acto representa una etapa diferente en la “relaciĂłn de verano” de cada personaje, destinada a ser duradera o solo una aventura de pocas semanas, siendo un detonante para que la trama profundice en sus sentimientos y el cĂłmo cada uno lidia de maneras diferentes ante ella; ya sea de forma mĂĄs racional o totalmente apasionada, dĂłnde a pesar de buscar algo momentĂĄneo o hasta imprevisto, el conocer una perspectiva diferente cambiĂł totalmente su panorama hacia el futuro, y para mi ese es uno de los mensajes de la pelĂ­cula, ya que tendemos a cerrarnos, y marcar un solo camino incondicionalmente cĂłmo el correcto, sin darnos el tiempo de conocer diferentes perspectivas hacia un mismo destino, siendo en este caso, el camino a convertirse en adulto. El cast de esta pelĂ­cula es increĂ­ble, actores poco conocidos, pero que dotan a sus personajes de identidad y exponen su duelo introspectivo de manera muy honesta, acompañados de una fotografĂ­a hermosa, sobre todo en los planos fijos en los que el entorno rodea a los personajes. Para mĂ­ el cierre al arco evolutivo de cada personaje estĂĄ en cĂłmo cada uno antepone sus propias emociones a lo que se supone que ellos creĂ­an que dictaminaba su futuro al inicio de la cinta. Una gran forma de cerrar una historia simple pero llena de corazĂłn. Encontrando su felicidad en aspectos que antes del verano parecĂ­an imposibles, demostrando cĂłmo el destino no estĂĄ escrito. Una pelĂ­cula que marca de gran forma sus emociones, es nostĂĄlgica cuando tiene que serlo asĂ­ mismo cuando tiene que ser melancĂłlica o emocional. Una carta de amor a las segundas oportunidades, a dejarnos sorprender ante el cambio, aunque eso involucre un presente o futuro inmediato totalmente diferente a lo que tenĂ­amos planeado. Una pelĂ­cula fabulosa. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review r b This is a great, feel good, 80's retro young adult drama. If that's your thing, this film is for you. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Movie starts slow, but really picks up. You find yourself rooting for the entire cast. Nice nostalgic film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a fun, nostalgic look at the 1980's on Long Island. There is a strong, young cast in this movie about the summer before a young crew goes off to college. Ed Burns does a great job writing, directing and costarring in this light summer, romantic comedy. The look and feel and are music are authentic. While it is predictable it is still worth seeing. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Cute movie with a cool soundtrack 😎 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 06/02/22 Full Review Audience Member Excellent. Coming of age of age film. If you were a teenager in the 80's you'll love this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Read all reviews
