Review of My Summer of Love (2005) by J D — 24 Mar 2008
I initially went into this watching a well-made coming-of-age drama about two young girls who have a love affair over the summer. But during the course of it, especially at the end, it also becomes an indictment of religion and a bit of an indictment on "true love".
The tone goes from passion and longing to cynicism so quickly that you can practically hear the needle get ripped off the record it's so abrupt. But it works, I'm just still figuring out what exactly it means.
Nathalie Press and Emily Blunt are both great in their roles, as is Paddy Considine, who I'm enjoying more and more the more I see of him. A well-done sensual movie.
