Winter Spring Summer or Fall

Director Tiffany Paulsen delivers a new romantic drama that remains simple and straightforward thanks to the extraordinary chemistry of its lead couple. Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White share the screen again, reinvigorating the chemistry evident in Wednesday.

The film takes us on a teenage story that has its positive moments as we become more interested in the relationship between the main couple. The director's approach to her script is quite enjoyable and easy to digest, allowing us to always feel a sense of affection for the two protagonists. This makes it easy to follow this love relationship, even though it's riddled with genre clichés. However, the chemistry between the two leads allows us to enjoy the whole process in a simple and enjoyable way.

Ortega and White's adorable twists keep you wanting more of Remi and Barnes' love story as the seasons change. They're a key part of our enjoyment of this Gen Z love story, with all the aspects that make them enjoy a good love story. Even though this may seem like a cocktail of clichés to some, if used properly, as in this film, they certainly become more of a delight than a crime.

While making it clear that it's a decent film and won't excel beyond that, it's fulfilling and entertaining. It boasts beautiful photography, intense moments, and a romanticism laden with sentimentality, yet truly enjoyable. Added to this is the efficient direction by its director, who perfectly captures those romantic moments between characters so that everything flows and becomes a love relationship between the viewer and the characters in a direct and precise manner.

A movie for a weekend getaway.

I have traditionally low expectations for contemporary romantic movies. Most of them are stuffy, pretentious, full of writer's/director's attempts to fit agenda and to make something likeable to everyone. And yep, we went to watch this exactly with these expectations, prepared to another one 2 stars romcom. And how surprised I was when it turned out to be very cute, touching and nostalgic.

It shows in a naturalistic way how teenagers make their first adult decisions, how cute and funny it all looks, and then remains in the memory for a lifetime.

And hmmmmm very strange, but it probably was the best role of Jenna Ortega I've seen. She rarely looks good as angry, self-centered or disappointed teenager, but is absolutely amazing as happy young girl being in love. Percy Hynes White is also a near-perfect casting choice.

So what do we have in the end:

• insane chemistry;
• very very good lighting, color, cinematography and music;
• simple, but such a nostalgic story;
• there are some questions to the script, pacing, real life representation and editing;
• but the first two points absolutely compensate it all.

Was very surprised and happy to watch it in Warsaw on holidays. It reminded me of my own story about the meeting on the train and all the emotions that came after. Tiffany Paulsen, thank you for this fun time.

"Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall" is a simple yet emotional film that blends a classic young love story with seasonal transitions. Jenna Ortega adds depth to the story with her sincere and heartfelt acting, while her natural rapport with Percy Hynes White makes the film gripping. It is successful in terms of visuals and atmosphere; each season symbolizes an emotional phase and this metaphor is used well. However, the script is too attached to the genre's patterns and does not offer any big surprises. Still, it is worth watching for those looking for a warm, emotional journey. We can say that it is a production that gives the viewer peace but does not leave deep impressions. To be honest, I watched it only for Jenna. (Sorry Percy)

A very lovely, poignant film!

Really loved Jenna Ortega's portrayal and performance as Remi, it was refreshing given all of her darker, more rugged and "rough around the edges" type of characters recently.

Can't forget to mention Percy Hynes White's portrayal and performance as Barnes! He was just too adorable. He plays the heartthrob so well!

Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White's chemistry is what really sold me on this movie though. You can tell their chemistry shines and radiates through the whole movie and they just bounce off of each other's energy, almost like you're watching two friends just have a good time without even knowing it's a movie, you know?

Excited to see what they both do next!

Such a relaxed, sweet, heartfelt film anyone who loves love stories would definitely enjoy it. A great teen movie that captures the magic of connection. However, it left me wanting more, as I was getting into the story the credits came up, leaving me saying "is that it", I wanted to see the story unfold further, across every season, as stated in the title. That's a point! It would be amazing to see this story continue and brought to life as a series or with a sequel, where we follow the characters' journey as they grow. We truly need more, calming and relaxed love story films like this nowadays.
