Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Turns out to be a triumph of unexpectedness in its slimmed-down story of two teenage girls, one middle-to-lower-class, and the other upper-class.
Fresh: My Summer of Love is one of those promising little gems that comes along and gets lost in the hype generated by Hollywood's flood of blockbusters.
Fresh: A perfectly diverting, perfectly forgettable summer fling.
Fresh: It's the revealing performance from Press that breathes life into the film.
Customer Reviews
Great Romantic thriller!
This film is as seductive as the characters in it.
It also pulls you in with beautiful cinematography. Just a wonderful film.
Reason
The performances were pretty good :D
However, I really wish the film had more back stories on the main characters It would have made the film much stronger. and, personally a much greater emotional impact.
I seriously had no idea that Emily Blunts character, Tamsin, would be that girl in the end to well...you'll find out. I just didn't find the ending to be very satisfying. :(
I pictured the movie to develop very differently than how it actually turned out. I understand if that was Pawlikowski goal...but, he did it in a way in which I didn't really like too much.
PS. if you like this movie I highly recommend watching "The Dreamers" NOW THATS A MOVIE! Sexy,Erotic, and Extremely Trilling to watch ;)
The critics must have seen a different movie....
It's really not worth the effort.
