  • The second episode of Illegal Civilization's Summer of '17 moves away from a story of romantic love and instead moves to the love and tension of friendship, keeping with the themes of turmoil and familiarity presented in episode one. This time the films opens with a search for a lost wallet, the morning after a party. But as the film progresses it is clear that the search has heavier implications than just searching for some lost cash.
    Directed by by Illegal Civilization founder Mikey Alfred, the second episode of the series is aesthetically consistent with the first. Afternoon light and summer days in the suburbs underscore the film's changing changing tone and building tension, while still maintaining the feeling of a teenage fantasy land.

    i love the fact that mikey decided to keep smartphones out of the flick. Like throughout the whole thing not one person was sitting there glued to there cell phone like how everybody usually is. He replaced the act of being on your phone with handgames and things that everybody used to do before phones were so dominant. He also showed how skater dudes who have just probably finished high school struggle to get money when they cant find a job. Aramis did a good job in this i cannot let that go unnoticed, he has great potential. All in all, this is pretty relatable to a lot of people and i cannot wait to see whats next to come.

    this is WAY better than the first episode, like WAY better. i was so happy they decided to use Tony and Paul instead of Jeff for the main protagonist in this one, we didn't get enough of them in the first film. And speaking of the fist film, i was so looking forward to it and when i finally got to watch it when it came out, i was confused and disappointed in the main story and the main protagonist Jeff. But this episode just sucked me in and i went in doubting it because my watching experience with the first episode. first episode: 5/10 second episode: 8-9/10 (now i'm looking forward to episode 3) :)

    Im 30 and this shit still hits hard. Thought all the turmoil of family would have leveled out by now, but it sure as hell doesn't. You depict the turbulence of that stepdad relationship with frightening accuracy, and I can attest to its effects. Having a true homie in those times can really be what makes all the difference.
