The only reason I saw this movie was so I could see Timothée Chalamet, because I didn't get to see Call Me By Your Name, but people were talking about how great of an actor he was. Though his acting is pretty much the only strength this movie has going for it. Every other actor isn't the least bit convincing and they made their characters incredibly one dimensional. The story is incredibly lame and pulled back. The film relied way too much on making it stylistic and hip, and forgot how to tell a decent story. And even then, most of the stylistic choices were either out of place or incredibly forced. Even with all these choices that the movie makes it has a very tough time finding a tone. I wish the movie didn't pull back on so much like nudity and drug use. I wish they would mess things up a little bit. It felt really tame. I did really enjoy some of the music. The cinematography is really great and I even enjoyed some of the sequences I didn't expect to enjoy. But most of the movie felt really ham-fisted. How some characters are introduced felt rushed, the dialogue was sometimes really cliche and cringey. I already mentioned the biggest set backs above. I just wish they had directing and writing to back up the lead actor that plays so well. Overall, I was really disappointed with the movie. You're all trash.

Just very poorly directed and edited. You can see what it was trying to be, but it just can't get there. It needs better character/story development. The story moves too fast and it just doesn't seem authentic. I also think the kid who plays the main character, Daniel, needs to not mumble through his lines so you can understand what he's saying! I also really didn't like the random little kid narrating throughout the movie. It seemed to make me feel even more detached from the characters. It's all so utterly predictable, unoriginal and uninspiring.

Great cast new and old, ending could've done with some fine tuning overall a fantastic coming of age movie. All 3 leads stand out as stars.

This is a critic's review on a film called 'Hot Summer Nights' - criticized the whole affair as "empty," and referred to the film as "A sweaty pastiche that shares its protagonist's desire to be all things to all people, only to wind up losing any sense of itself along the way." - - OK, so he - this is why critics "most that is" cannot be trusted; lets break this down, he says, this is empty, so because its empty that means its a bad film , really? so a "full" film is good. what does empty or full even mean? The film was richly layered bolstering the entire gambit of our human condition. Next, A sweaty Pastiche that shares its protagonist's desire to be all things to all people - So if the protagonist is perhaps diffident, cordial, thoughtful and in his desire to please everyone totters and makes a few mistakes, this makes him a bad character, thus empty, thus a badly composed story? what? Yes his empty, he then finds a jot fulfillment coming from pretty much nothing at a time when life was pretty dang hard, lots of people not many jobs, high rent coupled with paltry wages, born poor makes someone a bad character? Then he says, only to end up losing any sense of itself (what is "itself" is he referring to the movie, the plot, the character development? The protagonist was the best part of the tale; in fact if not for him, we would not have a story to unfold... The protagonist as it were, went from the kiddy pool of to the biggest darkest ominous ocean - and saved him self from drowning with a mysterious ending. Hot Summer Nights is intriguing and captivating. so what is the problem? All the components are there to relate a tale. Now if the critic had said, yes, it was a story and I did not find any plot holes or the continuity was pushed a little bit here and perhaps there, or the writer tied the threads but I just didn't like it and here are the reasons: Now that is a critic, hell yeah! But to discount and discredit the writing, the directing, the cinematography, the acting for what seems to be personal issues, that's not a critic, that 's a toolbox - step down sir, cause you cannot express yourself from an impartial plane, because if you could you would not try to foist your lamo pseudo intellectual nonsense about how to compose a film when you know absolutely anything about the writing process! This gem kicked ass from beginning to end: and Timothée Chalamet has definitely proven himself as the next big thing in Hollywood. So looking forward to following his career. Anytime his handsome mug (not saying that when he gets old it will be different, no in fact, he will probably be better lol) but one thing is for sure, he shant EVER need the assistance of any Hollywood neon sign from which to shine, for when he makes his presence in any scene, make sure to have some shades handy, cause this superlative thespian will surely light up the sky! Superstar on the real!
