Movie Reviews of My Summer of Love
Movie Review: Love my summer of love
Summary: 5 Stars
Propelled by splendid performances by Nathalie Press and Emily Blunt, My Summer of Love is a film that you won't forget. My Summer of Love explores class barriers, lesbian awakening, truthfullness, and alienation as two young women discover each other in an idle summer. The well-heeled Tamsin (Emily Blunt) is home from school after being suspened for disciplinary problems. Mona (Nathalie Press) the recently orphaned dauthter of a pub owner struggles with life at home with her ex-con, born again religious zealot brother. The two girls find eachother and the sexual tension between them bridges the wide social gap.
The script is excellent and the movie allows us to witness the deepening affection between Mona and Tam with the creative hand of the director hidden behind the evolution of the principal characters. The sexual tension between the girls grows as the conflict between the girls and Mona's brother intensifies.
My Summer of Love is superbly cast, admirably directed and ultimately believable. The story is captivating, spellbinding, and in the end unforgettable. The DVD is a must buy.
Movie Review: One of the best stories of our era
Summary: 5 Stars
In this film you get a slow paced, simple dialgued, tale that begins to unfold and wrap the viewer into it.
The only way to truly understand the story is to have had exceptional loss yourself in your own life, then as the lead character realizes what the truth really is this story whollops a punch like no other.
All filmakers and students script should watch this film to study the way they tell the story. The characters are in absolute trauma from the loss of their parents, and at the end of the day no matter what they each seek to heal it... nothing works but coming home and spending time with one another, which is all they have left anyway.
It shows how the hurt feelings brought on by loss or abandonment resonate into actions that are outside of the norm in the human heart. Those reverberations are powerful motivators.
WOW powerful movie.
Movie Review: A Hidden Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
It won British film of the year yet here in the US this film is completly under the radar. What a shame. I talk about this film in the same breath with One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Apocolypse Now as one of the best films I've ever seen.
The "problem" with the film is that it requires multiple viewings. On the second viewing you begin to realize that is not just a love story - this is a movie about us...all of us...and what the heck are we thinking when we sit down to watch a movie.
Movie Review: More than a lesbian film... much more.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fun, sensual, gripping, gutsy film. A wonderful use of the realist genre which has not forgotten to capture beauty and humor. More than a lesbian film, My Summer Of Love is a film about isolation, lonliness, social class and moralism. Natalie Press is trully one of a kind in this. She's cringingly real to a point you feel you are right in the film, in the room, seeing all your own imperfections by contrast. Dare to see it.Movie Review: not just an emily blunt showcase
Summary: 5 Stars
Which is not to say she isn't one of the best things about this wonderful little film. If you're a straight man over 30, you might feel a bit like a perv watching the two lead actresses make their magic, but that goes away in short order. Beautifully lyrical photography, and a air of mystery pervade the film. Smart script, too. Highly recommended.
