About This Movie

So, 'longseason' by Fernando Sá Machado is this raw and intimate documentary from 2023. It captures a late teenager and their friends navigating life in 2022, documenting those seemingly mundane moments that resonate with nostalgia. The pacing feels organic, almost like you're flipping through a scrapbook, with real-life highs and lows that unfold naturally. There's an interesting blend of practicality in how it’s shot, almost home-video style, which gives it a personal touch. The performances are authentic, the kind that makes you feel like a fly on the wall. It’s not just about youth but also about memory, and how we encapsulate those fleeting seasons of our lives. Quite distinctive, really, in its simplicity and honesty.
