Alex G. @alexthecritic May 12, 2026 Anchored by a stacked cast and effortless chemistry, this funny, warm, and deeply lived-in Touchstone gem will completely sneak up on you. It isn't flashy, but its quiet emotional weight and honest reflections on nostalgia make for a beautiful reminder that while you can't go back to the past, it's wonderful to visit.

Now 40 plus years on, it makes me nostalgic for my own days in my early 30's when this movie came out in 1993. But I must say none of my gal pals back matched Diane's delicate beauty.

Tim Treakle See more studio f @RT12204465 Jul 3, 2025 This was bad when originally released and it's incredibly bad now (2025). Alan Arkin's laudable performance is admirable, but Binder's material is just so cliched and unfunny, it's painful to watch the other actors muddle through it. It's impossible not to take some cheap shots at the hair, wardrobe, and stereotyped characterizations (whereas Diane Lane's effortless good looks, makes her the only actor who doesn't appear to be straight out of a 1985 J.C. Penny's catalog). Comparing this to "The Big Chill" is like comparing a New York strip steak to a BigMac (with extra cheese). Binder redeems himself with later works like "The Mind of a Married Man," but "Indian Summer" is easily among the most cringeworthy thirtysomething reunion films of the 20th century.

Director Mike Binder shows just maybe Seven people reunite at a camp in Ontario threatened to be shut down called Tamakwa A big cast of Diane Lane, the late Bill Paxton, Elizabeth Perkins, Alan Arkin, Matt Craven, and Sam Raimi It's cool they all gather after so long but not without carrying a load of their own problems from marriage to having kids to lack of communication Yet unresolved feelings begin to surface You can learn a lot in a week, most kids begin their entire lives at summer camp, reunions can be good to better ourselves even after childhood, loving each other means having to communicate more More about tone and mood but has a great ensemble The nature camp setting is a relaxing addition too See more Read all reviews
