While the wild and fun "Chasing Summer" isn’t necessarily Decker at her best. It’s certainly her at her most content. Go to Full Review Adrian Horton Guardian Jan 29
2/5
One of the most bizarre combinations of director and material I’ve ever seen, more curious car crash than collaboration. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Jan 27

B+

A nice breath of fresh air for the festival. Nothing super memorable but Iliza Shlesinger is charming Go to Full Review Daniel Howat Next Best Picture Feb 6
6/10
Ultimately, "Chasing Summer" works as a loving throwback to raunchy rom-coms. Though it plays things relatively safe, it sticks the landing, offering a warm, hopeful take on what it means to go home again. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
