Nosso Último Verão

Maia Mitchell was her typical self. Great acting. The rest of the cast was beyond terrible. At times it was hard to watch. The writers don't know teens at all. I'm a 22 year old grad student (definitely not a teen), yet I felt my eyes rolling into the back of my head over how out of touch this script was. It was like how a nerdy 35 year old man would write a movie about what he thinks the cool kids were like in high school. If I hadn't drank an entire bottle of wine while watching it, it would've been unbearable.

A superficial look into teenage youth, The Last Summer offers a glimpse into the lives of teenagers, which should be interesting, but ultimately falls flat. The characters from the beginning aren't interesting enough to invest any emotion in. The Last Summer is another typical Netflix teenage drama, utterly unenjoyable.

I literally cringed for more than half of this movie. Plus, it's suchhhh a basic rom-com. Only watch if you don't have anything else to watch.

5/10 - somewhat entertaining, but several random storylines and a lack of focus made this one not very memorable

I am so surprised by how much I enjoyed this. I like romantic comedies and teen flicks, but maybe only half of the time they are actually kinda good. This one is one of them. Sure, some stuff is way too corny, some messages and storylines feel a bit forced, but all in all it's actually pretty cute and completely worth seeing. The cast does a great job by the way, and some of the characters are much better drawn than one would expect them to be in a movie like this. If you like coming-of-age films, enjoy.

Also, the end is adorable in a way I didn't see coming. The last shot is so accurate and just a perfect note to end on.
