It's a decent movie and I'm glad I watched it but I feel like it lost its way towards the end and didn't have the emotional impact I was expecting.

Francois Ozon's 'Summer of 85' is a bittersweet film, one that ultimately encourages its audience to embrace the joy and the heartache of first love, along with the ephemerality of having a life-changing presence in your life.
