Films like It's a Summer Film!.

It's a Summer Film! (2020) reads as Cosy, breathless, measured comedy / youth, inventive in texture. Redemptive, intimate, tender. Every film below is ranked by distance across the same twelve hand-scored axes — with what it keeps, and where it walks away. Not a genre dump.
