| User ReviewRichard DOne of those hidden gems you hope to be able to find. It's like a feast for the eyes and ears of the art film geeks. Seek this one out. |
| User ReviewBrock RBeautiful imagery, scenery, lovely. It transported me back to my coming-of-age and the dreaminess of memories. Very vivid. |
| User ReviewNeal TSaw this movie at 2011 Sundance Film Festival. The movie will make you question every memory you think you can recall. Using different grades of film stock(no high def digital here), the recall of memory is shown in its many gradiations from crystal clear to dark and muddied. You will begin to see that memories are not always clear or constant. No matter where you had your childhood, you are going to say "wow, that is what I remember about the summer of ...." No car chases, shoot'em ups or outlandish sexcapades. This is not a summer teen flick. It is a movie that will leave you wondering about what you think you remember. |
