Review of The Kings of Summer (2013) by Missy R — 02 Dec 2013

An interesting idea, but I can't help but feel it could have been executed better. The young cast impresses, but the support underwhelms and the narrative sputters too much for my taste. One thing that can be said is that the film is visually impressive, thanks in large part to the amazing scenery and cinematographer's ability to capture nature in a visceral way.

It's a fun watch, but lacks the punch its material could have delivered.
