Johann D. M 🇨🇱🏳️‍🌈 Esta película chilena presenta a un arquitecto que viaja a la localidad de Niebla, en el sur de Chile, para despedirse de su hermana para hacer un posgrado, y donde conoce a un contramaestre de un barco pesquero que también actúa en representaciones de la captura del castillo de Niebla. Una historia de amor íntima y valiente, donde la química entre los protagonistas es tan auténtica que atrapa de inmediato. La película transmite una conexión emocional sincera, enmarcada en los imponentes paisajes del sur chileno que se convierten casi en un personaje más. La cinematografía, serena y evocadora, acentúa esa sensación de arraigo y nostalgia. Aunque la premisa de un "amor de verano" puede parecer familiar, la ejecución sensible y realista logra que la historia se sienta genuina y profundamente conmovedora. Y el desenlace, aunque es agridulce, deja una impresión duradera. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/22/25 Full Review Steve r One of my favorite movies of all time. Stunning scenery, beautifully acted. Loved it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/25 Full Review Garry A The intimacy between the two male leads was believable and really a joy to watch. There was the expected nudity and sex scenes but none of it was gratuitous. Just a beautifully done film. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/25 Full Review Greg S I thought it was a beautiful, tender movie that showed real intimacy and sacrifice people sometimes have to make. M Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/05/25 Full Review Ricardo A A masterpiece, the feeling is visceral, the farewell broke my heart, films like this are rare, they portray reality, the disagreements and departures that are part of our lives.👏👏👏👏 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Elrond S I'm a very harsh film critic -- for years I basically refused to watch films unless they were of a caliber of the Godfather or Lawrence of Arabia -- and while I won't go so far as to say this film is on that caliber, I found this to be masterful. The acting, direction, screenplay and cinematography were all sublime. The film had very few cliches. I was actually bawling my eyes out near the end when they're in bed together for the final time. Anyone who has ever been in that situation can relate to the visceral authenticity of the magnitude of the power of emotions which come with being in such a situation. You quite literally wish time would stop, and one second could pass for a thousand years, and the bliss would make it worth it. I give this my utmost praise and could not more highly recommend a film to someone. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/30/24 Full Review Read all reviews
