As Aventuras De Um Verão

This movie feels like a real summer. You easily take a liking to all of the characters and the storyline. It does not have any unnecessary drama, it is simply a realistic sweet movie.

A sensitive portrayal of young Irish immigrants who come to the United States to work. They enjoy a casual lifestyle while enjoying the company of each other for one summer. It evolves as a "coming of age" mini-saga.The players interact romantically and emotionally whilst seeking to find work and support themselves. Interestingly, it appears that for most of the actors, this opportunity to film in the US was their first acting gig.As a result, the film imparted a sweet, truthful feeling. The writing was smooth; the filming transitionally lovely. While some scenes were of a sexual nature, I would recommend this film as a 13 plus target group without hesitation.

A real early role for cillian murphy. And his first as lead, according to the trivia. Young irish lads come to montauk to work at jobs in murrica on a work permit. The usual shenanigans, in between jobs. When they can find jobs. But some of the problems they thought they were leaving behind follow them to new york. Ireland is not as far away as they thought! Davin is trying to escape his pattern of goofing things up in his life. Robert is inexperienced, but has already met a woman who may or may not still be married. It's good! A young cillian murphy and his electric eyes. Co-stars barry ward and paloma baeza. It moves along. A coming of age film, with the added ireland connection. The only film directed by nelson hume. So far.

Sunburn was shown at the Irish Film Festival in New York City last year and that is where I saw it. The writers and director are Americans who have created an engaging and very sensitively performed coming-of-age story about Irish young adults who spend a summer working on Long Island. The interweaving of characters, their histories and feelings is very well accomplished and the cinematography is so beautiful as to almost be distracting. This is a film that would please a large audience of varied ages. Really delightful.

Such a cute movie. Very '90s vibe. I can't believe how good Cillian Murphy has always been and at the same time what an artist he has become. Very nice comedy, quite relaxing, a movie you want to watch when you want to clear your mind and just chill out. Being a kid of the 90s I kind of recognise some of the themes and the American dream that European kids used to have to go and live the life. It's such a simple movie that I really enjoyed it and felt for every character, a fun bunch all with very different personalities and troubles. They are crossing together this very specific time of their life and after that, who knows maybe they won't see each other again, just like friends you met in summer camp. It gave me a nostalgic vibe but again loved it.
