Scores low in every department
You'll struggle to find a more drama-filled film, but 'A Deceitful Summer' (a.k.a. 'Deceitful Love') scores low in every department.
It is, of course, a production made on, what I assume was, an extremely small budget, though that isn't necessarily something that should hold everything back - it is possible to make an appropriate film with minor financial backing.
A prime example of that is the dialogue, which is terrible throughout - it all comes across extremely unnatural, especially the sexual stuff. Other criticisms include the camera work and editing, most notably the audio quality which is dreadful.
There isn't a standout when it comes to the cast. Indiraa, if I had to pick, is the best performer. Her acting isn't all that, but she has likeable qualities to her.
Leee John does a good job with the music, I will say that. There's also a pretty nice shot towards the end involving a fruit tree.
I respect everyone associated with this, I fully understand it isn't easy to make films, but this isn't one I'd recommend.
