Review of Hot Summer Nights (2018) by Kj P — 26 Jul 2018
A fun, self-aware, if uneven little summer shapeshifter with a great cast, high production values and confident, ambitious filmmaking from a first-time director, HSN feels like stories heard third-hand, rumors passed around your high school -- sometimes hyperbolic, sometimes illogical, building toward myth.
It's a coming of age story that attempts to simultaneously relish in and subvert everything we've come to expect from the genre, a film about falling in love with your idols and trying on their clothes.
