"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME

Indian Summer | 1993 | PG-13 | - 3.2.5

"The Big Chill" for "twentysomethings," as assorted characters get together for a week at their old childhood summer camp and start reminiscing. The cast: Alan Arkin, Julie Warner, Vincent Spano, Elizabeth Perkins, Kevin Pollak, Kimberly Williams, Matt Craven, Bill Paxton, and Diane Lane.

SEX/NUDITY 3 - There are men and women in bathing suits and one woman appears topless, but we only see her back. A couple of sex scenes take place under heavy covers and nothing is visible. Some kissing and a lot of very explicit sexual talk. Also, one scene of a man relieving himself while asleep: we see nothing, but we do hear.

VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - There is one boxing match between two men, and one between a husband and wife. There's no gore, not even a bloody nose or split lip.

LANGUAGE 5 - One F-word and some scatological language and lots of sexual references.

DISCUSSION TOPICS - Infidelity, sexism, racism, death. Some of the characters smoke marijuana.

MESSAGE - You have to follow your dreams.

CAVEATS

Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.

We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.

Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
