The 'Wednesday' actors headline Tiffany Paulsen's Tribeca-premiering feature about two teens falling in love over the course of four seasons.
aims to gift Gen Z the kind of rooting-for-them romance on offer for every generation: the unlikely match-up at the center of'Rebel Nun' Review: Sister Helen Prejean, the Activist Who Inspired 'Dead Man Walking,' Gets a Lackluster Doc PortraitThe film follows Remi and Barnes , two New Jersey teens who fall in love over four seasons.
What that means exactly is shaky. Barnes is more of a sketch than a fully fleshed-out character. We meet him as a rebellious teenager, an undefinable music-obsessed adolescent content to live in the present. When Remi asks him about college, he shrugs at the thought. It’s all cool — enticing even — until their relationship starts in earnest. A winter rejection leads to a springtime adventure on prom night.
Still, he remains shadowy, especially considering the role his background plays in the film’s dramatic turn. One wonders about his relationship to his mother, his dogged pursuit of Remi and more. Part of this nagging curiosity is attributable to White’s strong performance. Here, as in 2024 Sundance charmer, he plays a love interest with a lot more to offer than a pretty face.
Although Remi is a bundle of clichés — ambitious suburban teen whose intelligence separates her from the rest of her peers — her motivations are clearer, the stakes of this relationship for her future and her sense of self more legible. Ortega gives Remi some edge, finding ways to surprise us. Ortega and White’s endearing turns make you want more from Remi and Barnes’ love story as the seasons change., which was written by Dan Schoffer, presents their romance in languorous vignettes. The relaxed tone reflects, for the most part, the ease with which the two find each other over the course of the year. But there are times when the ambling pace comes off as more than a little aimless.
