Review by Carolyn Brown ★★★★

I saw Hot Summer Nights at the Capital City Film Festival in Lansing, Michigan! It was a fun coincidence, because I learned that the film existed like the day before. I thoroughly enjoyed this film's unique method of storytelling and the impassioned performances given by its young leads.

Obviously, Timothée Chalamet fans will be drawn to this film due to his recent success and rise to popularity. I think they will be pleased with his performance as Daniel (Danny because it’s cool), because it showcases his comedic chops as well as the drama skills we all know and love. Chalamet is one of the most captivating young actors onscreen right now and I’m so excited to see more of his…

HotWater Works Warehouse @ 10pm
w/ Sly for the Capital City Film Fest

a stylish and sweet summer flick. Visually and audibly jam-packed in the best of ways.
Timmy C’s comedic timing is nuts, was laughing uncontrollably on a couple occasions. A classic tale of young ambition and summer time shenanigans, I’d see this film again and again.

Does this mean we've finally moved out of the 80s and into nostalgia-fucking the 90s? If so, I'm in.

Review by therobymethod ★★★★½ 1

I caught this film at the Capital City Film Festival in Lansing, MI and really enjoyed it. Excellent soundtrack, visuals, and casting choices. Maika Monroe was great as always, but it would have been nice to see her get a little more screen time. Overall though, an excellent movie! I highly recommend that you check it out when you get a chance.

Chalamet whispers slick nothings. an algorithm of a movie; discount, Disney QT at the intersection of Sandlot and Blow
