All Summers End

Movie style like Now & Then, Stand By Me, etc....

A very touching movie about young teens summer romance, but it had a twist I never saw coming. I won't give it away, but I will say it's worth the watch.

It reminded me of "A Walk to Remember" and "Where the Red Fern Grows." Really! I was gripped by the gentle, well I told story from moment one. This is a "put down your cell phone, you don't want to miss a moment" movies. If you don't get it or think it is trite, then you were probably the bully character Hunter.

I love Pablo Screiber the older (Conrad) I wish he was in it a bit more although his other roles are amazing! Anyway though All Summers End is a wonderful story about a prank gone awry and (Conrad) falls in love Kaitlin Denvers character Grace which is heartwarmingly well done. Austin Abrams (Hunter) is a frustrating character to the story that I guess you could say is the villain of the film.

I was expecting a sweet coming of age flick, not a dark cover-up drama. Movies like this make me glad I don't have kids. Poor Paula Malcomson who just keeps playing the suffering mother. Tragedy always follows when the teen just wants to fit in but succumbs to peer-pressure.

All of us have suffered consequences in life for our actions, some good and some not so good!! This is a story of growing up and making a mistake then having to live with the repercussions! My Dad always used to say you reap what you sow, well this is a prime example of that. I won't give the story away as I will let it develop for you if you choose to watch it. Lately I have been watching movies with Tye Sheridan in, as I think he is a great young talent and upcoming actor. This movie at times was really tough to watch not because of bad acting or a totally bad storyline, but just because life can be tough on us all. At times the story made me cringe and even though I hadn't done anything of this magnitude, I still made some life choices that I wish I could go back and change, as we all have. I thought that Tye Sheridan and Kaitlyn Dever carried this movie. I would have rated it even higher, but thought something was lost by not exploring more of the parent's lives and how they handled tragedy in their own lives. Again seems like most of the movie was carried on the young actor's and actress's shoulders. Still overall I felt a decent movie and one that is worth watching!
