“Chasing Summer” feels, at first, like it might be a homecoming comedy you’ve seen before. It isn’t. Screening at the Eccles Theatre in the Premieres category, Josephine Decker’s latest film slides in under the guise of nostalgia and cringe, then pivots into something unexpected. Sweet, hilarious, and unsettling in all the right ways, it’s a look at the stories we tell ourselves about who we were and who we still might be.
After premiering at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, “Chasing Summer” is set to make its Texas premiere at @sxsw later this month. Read more about the film’s premiere at festival.sundance.org/highlights
