All Summers End

All Summers End is a 2017 coming-of-age drama starring Kaitlyn Dever, Pablo Schreiber, and Annabeth Gish. The film tells the story of Conrad Stevens (Tye Sheridan), a teenager who is struggling to come to terms with his past and navigate the complexities of his relationships in the present.

Conrad is haunted by the death of his best friend, Jake (Ryan Lee), who died under mysterious circumstances the previous summer. Conrad is convinced that Jake's death was his fault and is consumed with guilt and grief. As the new summer rolls in, Conrad is forced to confront his feelings and come to terms with the truth about what happened to Jake.

Throughout the film, we see Conrad navigating his relationships with his parents and his girlfriend, Grace (Dever). His parents are dealing with their own issues, and Conrad often feels like an afterthought in their lives. Meanwhile, Grace is struggling with her own emotions and insecurities as she tries to support Conrad through his struggles.

Pablo Schreiber plays Shane, an older man who becomes a mentor and friend to Conrad. Shane has experienced his own share of trauma and loss and provides Conrad with a sounding board as he tries to work through his issues.

Annabeth Gish plays Conrad's mother, who is worried about her son but is often too wrapped up in her own concerns to be fully present for him. Conrad's father is played by Bill Sage, and he is largely absent from Conrad's life, focused instead on his own interests.

The film is set in a small town, and the scenery plays a large role in the narrative. The town is idyllic on the surface, but as the story progresses, we see the underbelly of small-town life and the challenges and secrets that lie just beneath the surface.

All Summers End is a poignant and moving drama that explores the complexities of growing up and coming to terms with loss and grief. The film depicts the difficulties of navigating relationships and finding one's place in the world, and it does so with sensitivity and depth.

The performances in the film are exceptional, with Tye Sheridan delivering a powerful performance as Conrad. Kaitlyn Dever is also excellent as Grace, and Pablo Schreiber brings depth and nuance to the role of Shane. The cinematography is beautiful, and the film is shot with sensitivity and skill.

Overall, All Summers End is a thoughtful and nuanced drama that will resonate with anyone who has ever struggled to come to terms with loss, grief, and the complexities of growing up. It is a moving and memorable film that is well worth watching.
