Catch These Free Outdoor Movies in Boston This Summer
PHOTO VIA PRUDENTIAL CENTER
Didn’t you hear? Netflix and chill for the summer season has been phased out by lawn flicks and chill. Why watch a movie in bed on your phone when you could be watching it projected on a big screen in front of you with the stars above? Enjoy new animated favorites like Moana at Assembly Row, or impress your date with a smooth evening watching the foreign film Divorce, French Style on the MFA’s Huntington lawn.
