Review of The Kings of Summer (2013) by Mitch H — 17 Jun 2013
This small Indie film is a coming-of-age drama/comedy that paid off big in both genres. "The Kings of Summer" was the story of three friends in their early teens striking out on their own to live in the forest.
They lived by their own rules, built their own shelter and attempted to hunt for their own food. In a film that was full of laughs and both extremely charming and quirky, the message in the film will ring true in most of us and take us back to our adolescents.
The unheralded cast performed extremely well and the cinematography capitalized on several visuals that led to breathtaking moments. On a final note, I really wish more small films like this could push through and break into mainstream.
Memorable, rewarding, hilarious, awkward -- 8/10.
