I love Emily Blunt, which is why I decided to watch this film. Natalie Press and Paddy Considine handled their roles just as well as my favourite. The film has an appealing musical score and an interesting premise with a simple plot, albeit a slightly predictable climax. I was somewhat distracted by the camera taking in too much close-up and detail, and even though the film is a meager hour and a half long, I was quite bored at times.

My Summer of Love is a poetically conceived, only slightly interesting romance of two girls from
different worlds. If you are familiar with, for example, Blue Is the Warmest Color with its emphasis on
psychological detail and high emotional content, this will just pass you by as something rather
forgettable. The surprising conclusion does not add much to the film.

An excellent drama with very good leads. The whole "backwoods" atmosphere is also strangely appealing and a great backdrop for the story itself. The musical accompaniment fits exactly, so that My Summer of Love can be called a charming, independent and well made film. 85%
