The Times is committed to reviewing theatrical film releases during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because moviegoing carries risks during this time, we remind readers to follow health and safety guidelines as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and local health officials.
More than most musicals, caution tape reading “in the eye of the beholder” should wrap around “Summertime.” Because one man’s mush is another’s ecstasy.
In Carlos López Estrada’s follow-up to his make-rhymes-not-hurt feature directorial debut, “Blindspotting,” spoken-word poets share their personal truths through stories of Los Angeles. The sunny, diverse musical delivers sugary messages of self-affirmation with the shine of a lollipop and the stickiness of a half-eaten sucker. It’s a bold attempt, putting a neo-realist spotlight on a bevvy of first-time and nascent actors, but presented under an obnoxious treacle banner.

Director Carlos López Estrada s first feature, 2018 s
Blindspotting, succeeded in showing a place both as it is and how it feels. His follow-up,
Summertime, doesn t manage this as well.
Blindspotting was rooted in the Bay Area, with Daveed Diggs and Rafael Casal s characters feeling specific to that place. If either were plucked out and dropped anywhere else, it would be a story about their displacement.
