An observant and sensitively played drama about adolescent sexuality, unrequited love and heartbreak.

Kreuzpaintner displays a natural gift with actors and a clarity in storytelling that result in a fresh take on what otherwise might have been a familiar coming-of-age story.
70
One of the film's major assets is Stadlober's winningly natural performance-his moody charisma is irresistible.

Summer Storm is director/co-writer Marco Kreuzpaintner's entry into the "I'm not gay but my boyfriend is" genre.
50
Directed by Marco Kreuzpaintner like a barely legal pornography flick with extra plot, the movie is a perfect storm of clichés.
38
A contemporary teen summer romance with a modern sexual twist--though in many ways, it's just the same old malarkey.
25
An uninspired gay coming-of-age import from Germany.

A great setting, sympathetic actors, surprising plot-twists and a topic that you (sadly) only rarely see in modern films. I enjoyed every minute of it!
