Warm Summer Rain Trailers

Kate, a depressed thirty-something who unsuccessfully attempts suicide by slitting her wrists. Reflecting briefly upon her circumstance in the hospital, she realizes that nothing has been solved, whereupon she vacates the premises, wearing nothing but a hospital gown, a black coat, and flimsy sandals. Shortly thereafter, at a bus station, she requests from the attendant a bus ticket to wherever, with consideration to the limited funds she has to spare. The attendant insists on a destination, or even a direction - Kate spins about, points, and says, "that way". The story then evolves to include Barry Tubb, her love interest, who rekindles her will to live.

Good start, but then it gets ruined

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Depressed Kate (Kelly Lynch) fails in her suicide attempt. She is brought into the hospital. After some visitors, she walks off wearing only her hospital gown and an overcoat. She takes a random bus and gets off in the middle of the desert. She finds a kitty and then finds a bar. It's a meandering drunken sexual journey. She wakes up next to the well-dressed stranger (Barry Tubb).If you like Kelly Lynch drunk, troubled, and naked, this movie is for you. That is what you get and there is plenty of it. It's an erotic romance that leans more towards the art-house side. I'm not in love with this couple but I don't hate them either. It's an artsy erotic dysfunctional journey. Her bandaged wrists are the most striking part. Suddenly, there's a baby. Of course, they're naked a lot. This is one weird movie.

The basic theme/synopsis of this movie interested me so I decided to watch it, but other than that I had low expectations based, unfortunately, on the low 4.5 IMDb score it received. I was pleasantly surprised. The movie pushed me throughout to try to understand what was going on. But unlike other films that never actually come together or deliver a punch, this film ties everything together in an interesting, unique way. The acting was engaging and the chemistry between the two leads was believable. The film is genuinely quirky without it being forced like some films that seem to be quirky just for the sake of being quirky and/or "arthousy". There was just enough suspense, intrigue, humor, and sensuality/sexuality to drive this film from beginning to end. I can't say that this film is for everyone, but I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed it, and will probably watch it again -- something I don't usually say after watching most films.

This is very unconventional film, yet so easy to watch. It has some universal meaning and contains a lot of hidden points. The beautiful bodies exposed ate just the top of the iceberg. There are some pretty funny moments throughout the film, these situations made me (and the 4 people with me) laugh to tears. For the first time I see such a combination of very serious drama, surrealistic mystery, comedy and thriller at the same time. There is no much action, it is more subtle, but not boring at any point. I usually get bored easily, but this was not the case here, although some may find the movie a little disoriented. Definitely a must-watch!

More play than film, "Warm Summer Rain", is an obtuse character study of two troubled people who manage to spend a great deal of time naked, having sex. There are moments that are more akin to an acting class exercise than a real motion picture. Too much of the time we see the actors acting.This film is very derivative. It borrows from many sources including "Last Tango In Paris", "The Terminator", "The Chase", the works of Eugene O'Neill and William Saroyan.Although you can applaud the courage of Kelly Lynch and Barry Tubb, there is very little to admire here in a dramatic way. As a rental, I would barely recommend it.
