As quatro estações do amor

Such a relaxed, sweet, heartfelt film anyone who loves love stories would definitely enjoy it. A great teen movie that captures the magic of connection. However, it left me wanting more, as I was getting into the story the credits came up, leaving me saying "is that it", I wanted to see the story unfold further, across every season, as stated in the title. That's a point! It would be amazing to see this story continue and brought to life as a series or with a sequel, where we follow the characters' journey as they grow. We truly need more, calming and relaxed love story films like this nowadays.

Jenna Ortega and Percy Haynes White have great on-screen chemistry! I have really enjoyed both of their movies/TV shows in the past, and I adore Jenna, but I think people sleep on Percy's acting ability. I hope to see him in more films. In any case, I always love getting to see them together. This movie was a believable budding romance between the girl who has it all together and a more free-spirited guy who is still figuring things out. They meet in the middle in a kind of romantic paradise I think we all want but rarely actually experience. It's a joy to see on screen! Real life starts to creep in, and they have to figure out where that leaves them. Excellent acting from them both! It might not be super deep but this was a good, cozy film that will leave you smiling.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie from start to finish. The script and directing were very good and I think they made good use of the theme of the seasons. The plot was not revolutionary but it was sweet and kept me engaged every single minute. But the 2 leads are what made this movie really special for me. I know Percy Hynes White was in Wednesday with Ortega but I didn't really notice him in that. I first noticed him in My Old Ass with Maisy Stella and thought he was delightful. So, when I saw that he was starring in this, I immediately wanted to see it. I found Jennifer Ortega great in Wednesday so I was all in. Neither of them disappointed! I found their acting to be excellent and the chemistry between them was lovely in every single scene--like they are genuinely friends. One of the things I appreciate most about him is his "natural" / authentic vibe. I am so sick of love stories that revolve around narcissists and superficial views of "love." I would very much love to see more stories about love that evolves from friendship with decent guys who respect women. I would gladly watch a sequel or this stretched into a series or mini-series. I'm in the mood for feel-good, pleasant, decent films these days and this one delivers. The other characters are not drawn with any detail but they serve their part. I thought her parents did a good job of being what they were supposed to be and I enjoyed the band members' reactions. I'll be looking out for these two leads moving forward and would love to see them in something together again!

This four seasons rom-com addresses love aggravated by expectations, self-expectations and the belief that you should do as you planned or everything is doomed (I personally think quite the opposite, that life is a forever changing substance and trying to restrict it to preset steps is a total waste of opportunities). Characters start with firm beliefs that are rather different but their relationship and influence they have on each other could change their perspectives and life choices.

The thing I really loved about this movie is the way Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White managed to portray the bloom of love and the growth of it adding to the predictable plot delicious nonverbal details - subtle face expressions, glances, all these i-will-sit-closer-to-you and turn-my-body-to-you signals. The movie tells the story of attraction that you can feel and no amount of low budget flaws can distract from the emotional effect of it. You will ache for them and you will root for them for their paths to be aligned in the end.

"Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall" is a simple yet emotional film that blends a classic young love story with seasonal transitions. Jenna Ortega adds depth to the story with her sincere and heartfelt acting, while her natural rapport with Percy Hynes White makes the film gripping. It is successful in terms of visuals and atmosphere; each season symbolizes an emotional phase and this metaphor is used well. However, the script is too attached to the genre's patterns and does not offer any big surprises. Still, it is worth watching for those looking for a warm, emotional journey. We can say that it is a production that gives the viewer peace but does not leave deep impressions. To be honest, I watched it only for Jenna. (Sorry Percy)
