Movies like Into the Wild , 127 hours , The Motorcycle Diaries are based on living your life with full freedom. When you are caged in a house or walking down in somebody's shoes, an aggression will come over you and a force will drive you to explore a place to find peace.
Kings of Summer tells the story of 3 teenagers who are pressurized, dominated and caged by their family. During summer, they decide to build a house and create their own set of rules allowing them to live completely in freedom.
As first time director, Jordan Vogt-Roberts does a fine job in choosing a run-of-mill story and explore the beauty of nature. However it is the weak screenplay and story writing that serves no purpose to watch the film. True the film begins with a positive notes but ends on a shaky ground confusing with any particular message in the end. The camera work is the highlight of the film and genre of the film falls from being a comedy into serious drama. Nick Robinson, Gabriel Basso and Moises Arias were outstanding and astonishing playing their part with conviction. Background score gels well with the movement of the film.
Overall, Kings of Summer was a nice try. It had excellent cinematography , few fun-filled moments but weak screenplay and story-line makes strictly one-time watch. Decent 2.5/5
