Summer of 85 Reviews
Filme sobre relacionamento homoafetivo masculino na adolescência sempre me causa um impacto e me deixa muito pensativa e pesarosa, pois tenho dois amigos que viveram esse momento de forma distintas, porém igualmente conturbadas… Parcialmente baseado num romance infantojuvenil (foi um dos percursores no estilo)… "você acha que inventamos as pessoas que amamos?" e é exatamente assim que um desses amigos se apaixona, criando homens perfeitos na sua imperfeição… Filme lindo e emocionante...
Very similar, but also very different to Call Me By Your Name, I absolutely love this film. The chemistry between those two boys is phenomenal. Tears rolling down while I'm writing this.
Sensitive depiction of young love. This film evokes rich and varied feelings and captures beauty and passion while showing both the simplicity and complexity of attraction and human connection.
I absolutely Loved summer of 85 as it was very much just like my own experience back in 1985 , Felix Lefebvre was so believable as ALEX , It is so hard for young guys when they have their first crush on a friend and with no one to explain whats happening to them and their feelings for their best friend . I can say this about two boys in love, it is much stronger than a boy and a girl , Felix did a great job of bringing this to the film .
Hated the plot twist, I expected a love story but ay my opinion is extremely biased.
Basically a story of a 16 year old coming out and falling head-over-heels in love.
Summer of 85 (French: Été 85) is a 2020 romantic drama film written and directed by François Ozon 🛶 It’s good 🙂 I’d recommend it if you like this genre 👍🏼 What do you dream of when you're 16-years-old and in a seaside resort in Normandy in the 1980s? A best friend? A lifelong teen pact? Scooting off on adventures on a boat or a motorbike? Living life at breakneck speed? No. You dream of death. Because you can't get a bigger kick than dying. And that's why you save it till the very end. The summer holidays are just beginning, and this story recounts how Alexis grew into himself.
I have to simply put it, I loved the movie! I never like tragic endings but I can respect them enough to appreciate and love the movie. Tragic or not tragic ending, I highly recommend the movie, it's amazing.
Despite a number of very positive attributes including a beautiful location, a strong connection between its two leads and a nostalgic feeling of the power of first love that permeates throughout, this is ultimately a disappointing experience that doesn't quite seem to have a grasp on what it's trying to accomplish. It's almost framed as a mystery thriller, which doesn't work out at all, particularly when we find out what the accusations are against one of the lead actors. The central love story feels rather superficial and distanced, in spite of strong performances by Lefebvre and Voisin. There's nothing here that we haven't seen in a hundred other love stories. Supporting characters, particularly the parents of both lead actors, are sketchily drawn and, as a result, their actions toward the end of the film are a bit bewildering. Other characters are mentioned in passing without ever being brought up again. The whole enterprise feels like the highlight reel of a much longer movie or even limited series. I can't recommend it, but at the same time, there's a lot here to admire and respect, so this is in no way a movie about which I have overly negative feelings. With a few tweaks here and there, this could have been something much more special.
Beautiful cinematography! Amazing performances! And the somehow generic love story develops into something quite touching.
Even tho im gay... this is cringe.
Sweet, smooth, and important film.
that shi' was sad asf
this movie is brilliant. intertwining art with unique poetry and narrative. great acting as well, pure emotion. i suggest you watch jai tue ma mere, a french, perhaps even better movie if you enjoyed watching this one. aesthetically pleasing, poetic and artistic. traumatizing as well.
Wonderful movie. The pacing is a little slow at times, but very thought provoking and touching, Much better than the average lgbtq movie. And the kid who plays Alex is very convincing in the part, (and so sexy too!)
Summer of 85 Beautiful scenery, solid plot even though the alternation between past and present dulls the climax. Young love, romance and tragedy portrayed with sheer sincerity by the wonderful cast. The soundtrack is also noteworthy and helps bolster the emotions of the scenes especially Rod Stewart's _Sailing_.
What an amazingly good actors. Both young, both convincing. The story is extraordinary but realistically. What would you do if someone asks you to...... especially if you were so infatuated. Well told story. One of the best videos I have; in my personal top 10. Well done. Worth watching.
