Summer

About This Movie

Summer (2022) blends drama, romance, and a touch of thriller with its gritty backdrop of downtown Guadalajara. The film captures a raw, almost voyeuristic glimpse into the lives of its main characters—a leather-clad biker and a pink-haired escort. Their encounter feels electric but also steeped in a sense of melancholia. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing the tension between them to simmer before bubbling over into a world of unexpected choices. I found the performances to be quite captivating, with an authenticity that draws you in, making their chemistry feel almost palpable. The practical effects, though understated, enhance the sense of realism. It’s a portrait of longing and the search for connection in a chaotic world.
