Summertime

Frustrating movie. Appreciate the intention more than execution. Showcases poetry/artists. Movie occasionally introduces a character and then follows them, flowing seamlessly like good poetry does, from idea to idea, person to person, etc. Slice of life film that mostly lacks good characters, making them--in the form of abrupt slam poetry--hammer home their ideas, mistaking that for character development while disrupting the flow. Plus, honestly, outside of certain contexts, that shit is cheesy.
