Movie Reviews of My Summer of Love
Movie Review: A pretty good lesbian-themed movie.
Summary: 4 Stars
"My Summer of Love" is a pretty good lesbian-themed film. However, everyone, whether gay or straight, will be sure to like this movie as it's mostly about two girls finding each other and becoming very good friends. It stars actresses Emily Blunt and Nathalie Press.
So what's this movie about? First of all, as I said above, this movie isn't completely about lesbians. In fact, Mona (played by Nathalie Press) appears to be into boys whereas Tamsin's (Emily Blunt) orientation isn't clear. There's really no main storyline in this film. Basically, the two girls meet and what starts out as innocent fun turns into something more. The majority of the film has the girls hanging out, like typical teens do. Eventually, the girls form a more "loving" relationship. The relationship is actually filled with lies and empty promises.
So what's to like about this movie? First of all, it's just an entertaining movie to watch. There's a few funny moments and a few sad moments that keep the movie going. There are a couple of scenes that will have you guessing what's going to happen. Although the ending is not the greatest, it fits perfectly with the rest of the movie. Second, you know going into it that SOMETHING is going to happen between the girls. The question is just when and how. Third, Emily Blunt is one of the main characters and her overall beauty will keep you glued to the screen.
And what's not to like? As I said above, there's no real storyline. A lot of the film shows the girls riding Mona's bike to different places and having fun. Everything comes together towards the end but it still doesn't make up for the rest of the movie.
As a lesbian-themed movie, this is a pretty good one. I wouldn't call it a lesbian film because when the girls do get together, I think it's all fun and games to them so no real relationship comes out of it. Calling this film a lesbian film would be like calling a film like "Anger Management" a lesbian film simply because there are two supposed "lesbians" in it. It's worth a watch anyway and straight people will probably enjoy it as well. I'm giving it 4 stars although if I wasn't into lesbian-themed movies, I may have given it only 3 stars.
Movie Review: The Most Dangerous Thing Is To Want More
Summary: 4 Stars
Phil: What is wrong with you?
Mona: I just miss me brother.
Phil: I'm here.
Mona: That ain't you. It ain't.
Phil: Oh no, this is me, this is the real me.
Mona: I want the old Phil
Phil: Well that old Phil, he didn't make me very happy.
Mona: He made me happy. I love my brother, he used to be real. I haven't got any family, me home's changed, no one fancies me...
[breaks into tears]
[hugging Mona] Phil: Oh Jesus watch over this child, watch over her...
Mona: Oh no, f*** off! F*** off!
Two sixteen year old girls in the summer of their lives. They both live in Yorkshire, however, they might as well have lived on opposite sides of the moon. Mona, lives with her brother, Phil, who has found God and is born again from a life of crime. Tamsin is lonely and bored young woman, born to a wealthy family. They run into each other and become kindred souls.
Mona lives with her brother above a pub, and his friends come daily to appraise The Lord. Mona has lost the brother she knew, and she does not like this new one. Her boyfriend has dropped her and she has no one. Tamsin tells Mona she has lost her sister from anorexia, her father has an ugly, buxom girlfriend, and no one pays any attention to her.
Mona and Tamsin find adventure and freedom in the countryside. Mona moves in with Tamsin and they travel on a used motorbike. They visit each other's favorite haunts and eventually they find each other. Romance and love abound, but will it last? Phil w ants Mona to come home, or at least to come to his "Raising of the Cross". She and Tamsin do attend, but they also decide to upset Phil and his whole crowd and they do it in an unimaginable way that will upset everyone.
This is a film that shows the acting abilities of both of these women. Nathalie Press as Mona and Emily Blunt as Tamsin; were it not for their marvelous acting and playing their young selves, this movie would not jell. The carefree teens and their life of innocence and wanting is a realm of theatre that must be seen. The filmography is beautiful and the surrounding countryside is full of life.

Movie Review: I didn't expect to like this movie but I did
Summary: 4 Stars
I started watching it on Netflix because I like Emily Blunt (I thought she stole every scene in "the Devil Wears Prada" she was in). I figured I'd bail on it in a few minutes since it is a story of two young women who form a very close "friendship" one summer in a rural part of England and that's not really my cup of tea.
But the movie kept me watching and managed to surprise me a few times with what happened and I found the character of Mona, the local small town girl played by Nathalie Press a sympathetic one and Tamsin, played by Blunt, intriguing to say the least. And it's not really explicit or strident about the nature of the romance. It could just as easily have been about a young guy and a girl.
I won't give away the plot and conclusion but suffice to say I think it is a bit of a warning that people should not play games with each other in matters of the heart and that it's always best to let someone who loves you down easily because if you don't, love can readily turn to hate and sometimes that hate can be acted on.
Movie Review: Who Is The Biggest Faker?
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is about lies and half-truths, but it does not start out that way.
The film revolves around Natalie Press' Mona and her interactions with her born again brother Phil (Paddy Considine) and the suspended boarding school, rich girl Tamsin (Emily Blunt). Phil finds the Lord in prison and turns the pub that his deceased Mum ran (and where he and Mona live upstairs) into a place for prayer meetings and services. Tamsin and Mona have a chance encounter on a country lane and wind up spending the summer together and falling madly in love - teenage crush style. Things unravel at the end with all three showing their true colors.
The film is beautifully shot by Ryszard Lenczewski in West Yorkshire and Lancashire, England. And the director, Pawel Pawlikowski, has a deft touch and moves the characters and story gently forward.
Movie Review: about the film/movie my summer of 4 Stars
Singapore theatre shown this film which was recorded from the DVD....hee hee ans the story is basically talking about the way of life of the two ladies. There is one sexual content while the other is the emulated sexual content done by the two ladies between a male and a female, just funny...ha ha ha....that's all. The story for this film is not bad afterall and is recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of films/movie. Anyone whom buy the film can hust have it.Review by:
