Summer of Three

About This Movie

Summer of Three captures that bittersweet feeling of returning to familiar places, only to find them changed. Javi's journey back to Puerto Rico unfolds against a backdrop of vibrant landscapes and emotional turbulence. The pacing offers a nice blend of introspection and youthful exuberance, particularly through his relationships with Luife and Kiki. Their quirky charm and the ensuing love triangle add layers to the narrative, drawing you in with both humor and tension. The performances are raw and genuine, giving a pulse to the story that feels almost documentary-like at times, making it distinctive in how it tackles themes of loss and connection.

Summer of Three seems to have flown under the radar for most collectors, possibly due to its limited release or the obscurity of its director. There isn't much in terms of physical media; it’s mostly been available through digital platforms, which makes any rare DVD or Blu-ray release quite sought after among niche collectors. The film’s unique blend of personal and cultural themes definitely appeals to those who appreciate character-driven stories, especially in the coming-of-age genre.
