It is easy to be dismissive and contemptuous about teen-campus flicks. Films about shallow preoccupations presume the characters indulging in them, to be shallow. Worse still, those filmmakers who direct films about superficial youngsters are presumed to be shallow too.
But "The Last Summer" is ample proof of just how much constructive thought goes into creating a film about youngsters obsessed with matters of the bed rather than the head.
Or maybe, that's not quite the character-chart that this far-more-clever-than-it-seems film pertains to traverse. There is a bright, sensitive student-filmmaker in the film -- Phoebe (played by Maia Mitchell) who talks about great art, great filmmakers and... well, just great artistes. Oddly, she doesn't seem like an oddball in this film about carnal desires and over-the-top emotions.
Perhaps the trick that the director William Bindley adopts is to not judge the characters -- all 1023 of them. I mean, there are...

Netflix's rom-com machine is back in full gear, and its latest offering is The Last Summer. The movie, which started streaming on May 3, is an ensemble comedy about a group of Chicago teens loving and living it up in the final Summer before they scatter for college. It's definitely a self-contained movie with a very specific time frame, but is there the possibility for a sequel? Right now, the answer is a big fat "maybe."
Unlike some of Netflix's other movies, like To All the Boys I've Loved Before, there's no blueprint to The Last Summer's future prospects. Why? Because it's an original script, not an adaptation of any existing material. The screenplay is an original by William Bindley (who also directs) and Scott Bindley. Since there's no preexisting material dictating whether or not the story can continue, there's no reason the writers couldn't continue the story if...

"Sometimes I fear whether I'm even capable of love." Netflix has launched an official trailer for a new indie romantic comedy titled The Last Summer, another one of these sappy end-of-high-school coming-of-age kind of films about a bunch of teens enjoying their last summer just before they go to college (also see: The Spectacular Now). Here's the cheesy Netflix synopsis: Standing on the precipice of adulthood, a group of friends navigate new relationships, while reexamining others, during their final summer before college. Set in Chicago, The Last Summer stars K.J. Apa, Maia Mitchell, Jacob Latimore, Halston Sage, Sosie Bacon, and Tyler Posey. As bright and as charming as this film seems, it is just another beautiful people falling for other beautiful people film, most likely repeating the same lessons to learn from other teen films. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for William Bindley's The Last Summer, from Netflix's YouTube: Featuring several intersecting stories,...
