My Summer Of Love [Reino Unido] [DVD]

Great coming of age flick. I watched this movie when i was much younger, and never fell out of love with it. Both female actors were wonderful. Gotta Love Emily Blunt!

I just loved everything about this film, especially the mesmerizing performances by the two leads.Some may find the religiosity scenes eccentrically disturbing. However, I found them to have plot relevance - in a hypocritical sense.Emily Blunt and Natalie Press were simply captivating. Emily was perfect as Tamsin, the gorgeous, charming and rich seductress as was Natalie as Mona, the naive, vulnerable and poor girl being deviously led astray both emotionally and sexually. Both were so skillful at bringing their characters to life that I couldn't take my eyes off either one of them. The intimate scenes, though mild were still tender, sweet and believable.Natalie Press is not blessed with Emily Blunt's etherial beauty (who is) but her performance as Mona was brilliant. Her physical expressions and gestures as well as her unschooled-like cockney accent were done to perfection. As the film comes to a close, Mona rises above Tamsin's deception (sweet revenge) and her brother's cruelty and moves forward with her life a stronger and more independent woman.I believe this was their first feature film yet the ability by both actresses to portray such a wide range of emotions so convincingly was truly amazing. Highly recommend.

Film molto particolare, con poca azione, pochi dialoghi e tanta psicologia. Un po' lento a tratti. Probabilmente un film che o si ama o si odia, ma che sicuramente si apprezza di più se si conosce un pochino la realtà dello Yorkshire e soprattutto se lo si guarda in lingua originale, perché gran parte della caratterizzazione delle protagoniste passa attraverso l'accento e l'uso della lingua, andando così persa nel doppiaggio.

delivered on time - as described - no damage - well packaged - no hasslesspoiler info - will give the story away but will try to not reveal the endingWasn't expecting much from this - cast I'd never heard of - film I'd never heard of - hadn't even read a synopsis. So I was really pleased by what unfolded. In overall feel it was like an older film and possibly a bit like a French classic from the 70's or 80's. Perhaps that's why I liked it so much.A simplish story told very well.The character development was excellent and the direction was so good I did not see some events coming until they arrived.My sympathies as always are for the underdog and this was no exception.SPOILER NOW. I thought she was going to get hurt and she did BUT she felt it and dealt with it and it ended as satisfactorily as possible. I have great difficulty with endings. Too pat, too ridiculous, too sad - too happy etc. This was just about right.SPOILER OVER:Was there any message in the film - yes several. hard to verbalise easier and better to absorb by watching. Plus I don't want to get in to the whole religion debacle. I have to say I didn't know which way that issue was going to go and I think it was handled about right.The class issue It's all there. but the clever thing is it's hardly mentioned at all explicitly it just silently screams out.Are the girls disturbed or dysfunctional - perhaps one percent more than average but I found them believable.Press and Blunt are 95% of the film and they carry it without effort. Their performances are superb. No doubt made slightly easier by the great script.And with so few cultural references this will age well. and no doubt be as relevant and captivating in 20 years as now.ACID TEST: would I buy again/recommend - YES

Is this a sexploitation movie ?Natalie Press and Emily Blunt are both completely convincing as the seduced and the seducer in this quaint, low budget British teen lesbo-flic.Interesting background story of the former's elder, wayward brother struggling with his own demons in a trajic yet comedic way while our two heroines discover themselves and each other in a sultry pleasure fest of dressing up and daddy's booze.This was Blunt's debut performance in a lead role and you can see why Hollywood sought her out to play posh English birds from then on. A kind of female Hugh Grant. Who can forget her in The Wolfman ?Mainly for the ladies, this one, or those with a fondness for the sweet, the unattainable and the taboo.
