ummertime and the living is easy. I can hear the rich voice of Ella Fitzgerald in my head now, but what’s not easy is finding great films to see this summer. Big blockbusters take over the screens, edging out the independent little guys which, in my mind, are more worth your hard-earned dollar. Traveling to film festivals across the country, I’m able to easily find and share with you the films that will make your summer movie going experience sizzle. (All films featured open after May 18)

Spotlight:

“The Seagull” is based on Chekov’s play of the same name, but don’t let that scare you away. Annette Bening stars in this film about an aging actress, unrequited love, love triangles, and family. This elegant, fast-paced comedy draws you back in time, witnessing the stages of life and love. It’s an all-star cast with stellar performances from Saoirse Ronan, Elizabeth Moss, Brian Dennehy, Corey Stoll, Billy Howle, and Mare Winningham.
