Winter Spring Summer or Fall

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!

This four seasons rom-com addresses love aggravated by expectations, self-expectations and the belief that you should do as you planned or everything is doomed (I personally think quite the opposite, that life is a forever changing substance and trying to restrict it to preset steps is a total waste of opportunities). Characters start with firm beliefs that are rather different but their relationship and influence they have on each other could change their perspectives and life choices.

The thing I really loved about this movie is the way Jenna Ortega and Percy Hynes White managed to portray the bloom of love and the growth of it adding to the predictable plot delicious nonverbal details - subtle face expressions, glances, all these i-will-sit-closer-to-you and turn-my-body-to-you signals. The movie tells the story of attraction that you can feel and no amount of low budget flaws can distract from the emotional effect of it. You will ache for them and you will root for them for their paths to be aligned in the end.

Negatives for Winter Spring Summer or Fall (2025): This movie is every romance movie you've seen before just in a different setting with different actors. You have a lot of romance cliches in the story. The other characters were very boring and one-dimensional. And finally, the ending was very anticlimactic.

"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)

Positives

• Great chemistry, we also got to see the spark that we were deprived of in Wednesday. They are really good together on screen.

• Great music, the soundtrack of this movie makes a fantastic playlist of its own that I will definitely be listening to a lot.

Negatives

• Bad script and barely any plot. Definitely not 90 minutes material.

• The coldness of Jenna's character made her look as if she couldn't act which was unfair for both her and the chemistry, since it made their first scenes absolutely dry.

• The "rebel" phase of Ortega was underwhelming and off-putting for me personally.
