Beware of YouTube uploads claiming to be the full movie. They are usually fan-edits set to Lana Del Rey songs that completely miss the point.
Set against the backdrop of a brutal New York heatwave in July 2019, The Intern: A Summer of Lust follows (played by breakout star Elena Voss), a 22-year-old Columbia graduate who lands the "internship of a lifetime" at Sterling & Locke, a high-frequency trading firm.
"The Intern: A Summer of Lust" follows the story of a young intern who lands a job at a successful company, only to find himself caught up in a whirlwind of emotions and desires. As he navigates his new role and tries to make a good impression, he finds himself developing feelings for his beautiful and charming boss. But as their relationship deepens, they must confront the challenges of their different personalities and the power dynamics of their workplace.
Tone-wise, the movie balances the intoxicating with the ethical. It’s a summer romance for an era of screens and hashtags, but one anchored by questions that don’t have neat answers: When does mentorship cross a line? Can attraction be mutual and equitable when power is unequal? And when a relationship is partly a performance, who owns the narrative?
