Review of Something Like Summer (2017) by Mohamed M — 02 Mar 2018
SOMETHING LIKE SUMMER- 23%.
A spot in my Top 100 worst movies ever.
The story is nice, however, everything else related to the movie is absurd. The sound engineering felt like something from a Disney movie. The structure jumped from 5 years to 5 years like it was nothing. the actors did have some potential which the director did not really know how to enlighten. The cinematography is annoying, with shaky cameras in stabilized shots, and camera crane shadows in some unnecessary scenes.
The screenplay was rotten cheese. I repeat, the story itself is nice. The idea focuses on sensitive subjects related to love, acceptance, and fate. However, I don't think the director knows the meaning of these three words because he sure did not know how to show it. I did feel it sometimes with the actors which I think could have done so much more if directed correctly.
Story wise and execution: 1.05/3.5.
Acting: 0.5/2.
Camera work: 0.4/2.
Sound: 0.3/2.
Overall Score: 1.13/5.
