Into the Wind

From the very first shot I know I'm getting a visual treat. Unique shots of water sports elevate the movie that's otherwise unremarkable.

Unfortunately almost anything that happens inside the hotel is blah. The main character is unlikeable and the romance is too insta but it's a common trope for a coming-of-age movie.

The music choice can be very cheesy at times but feels authentic to the setting, the ending is very Hollywood where everything is wrapped up nicely with a bow. Not a bad choice if you want a simple crowd-pleaser.

The movie breathes fresh air into Streaming TV. Filmed in very picturesque locations, the movie pulls you into the a very real story that is not a rehash of other romantic movies.

The supporting actors and relaxed flow of the movie take you all the way to the upbeat ending of the over 1hr 40 min movie. This movie follow a long line of recent releases from Poland, and has a very personal and at the same time personable feel for the characters.

I also enjoy the contrast between the fast paces busy scenes and the slower dramatic elements that put you right into the emotional place that the director seemed to be aiming for.

I look forward to seeing more movies from Poland and from this director on streaming in the near future.

If the idea was to make the 2022 Polish version of Dirty Dancing, then I must say it's an epic fail. I'm trying hard to finish it off to be honest, and can't relate to anything or anyone in this film. Its premiere on Netflix coinciding with Valentine's day is another fiasco, sorry. Cannot but compare it with last year's Isi & Ossi, which was perfect for the occasion.

Anyway, I give it 3 stars and consider it as a generous review on my part.

Summer love story, very enjoyable. Normally I would avoid romantic films, but this one positively surprise me, there is no a boring moment. Good acting, pictures and music.

I really liked this romance. It was not your typical clichéd rich private school girl falls for rugged working not-rich boy. There were some deeper character developments going on that added more depth to the story. The movie held my interest (even though I had to watch in subtitles), and just had this lovely energy about it. The kite surfers were a fun group of friends with so much happy, welcoming energy. This is a unique, fresh, and fun Polish movie. I loved it.
