Review of My Summer of Love (2005) by David F — 05 Apr 2015
A mesmerizing film about the summertime friendship between two teenagers, one dealing with the sudden religious conversion of her ex-convict brother, the other living in a gilded cage with wealthy though absent parents.
They seem so lucky to have found one another and begin to depend on each other for the support they get nowhere else in their lives, as Tamsin, the wealthy one, teaches Mona about Nietzsche and Freud while Mona brings her spontaneous instinctual values to Tamsin's attention.
The acting here from a young Emily Blunt and Natalie Press is very impressive as the pair bring to life the relationship which grows and develops amid the simple diversions of rural English life in the early twenty first century.
