You can read a selection of reviews below.
“Paulsen, a writer of romantic comedies like About Fate and Holidate, has an intuitive sense of how to make you blush, wielding the power of close-ups to capture the longing gazes and subtle touches exchanged between Remi and Barnes.”
“Winter Spring Summer or Fall isn’t a romance you’d want to spend a whole year with — even an hour and a half feels like more than enough.”
“Winter Spring Summer or Fall stands out as a unique coming-of-age story, primarily due to the strength of its two leads.”
“Paulsen does a decent job with her feature directorial debut, creating a breezy and thoroughly enjoyable coming-of-age rom-com that benefits greatly from the clear chemistry between Ortega and White.”
“Winter Summer Spring or Fall is hardly ever convincing, let alone natural… The makings of their will-they-won’t-they affair aren’t any more original, despite the natural chemistry Ortega and Hynes White have evidently built up over the course of a few years as screen partners.”
Winter Summer Spring or Fall currently has no release date.
