The little film that could: Kings of Summer

I saw this little film at Sundance London a couple of months ago and heard it being likened to John Hughes and Stand by me but it truly is it's own film. A coming of age comedy that evokes a fleeting sense of youth and the journey of independence in a spirited and unpredictable way.

With a witty script penned by Chris Galletta that balances nostalgia and popular culture with a delicate and heartfelt appreciation of  the films that came before whilst creating a truly unique vision. 
  It's brought to life by a cast of up and coming young stars who make this Sundance hit, one that is a stand out triumph.     

Jordan Vogt-Roberts hilarious debut is one which rules in every sense.
           Here are Several reasons to watch the Kings of Summer right now;
