My Summer of Love [DVD]

This straightly became my top 20 movie list right after watching it last night. It was so beautiful and I was like really stuck on to the monitor for 90 minutes. I never liked Emily Blunt before. I first noticed her from DEVIL WEARS PRADA. From that movie she was this thin, really thin woman with thick makeup and she was kind of wacky woman. She was a really good actress but not to be loved. Then I saw her from other several movies but because of her previous images, I never thought that she is beautiful. In this movie, she was so so beautiful for the first time I felt it clearly. Her eyebrows are so pretty. She was so brave enough to expose her full nude body to show how beautiful her look is. But still the most beautiful part was her face. Her jaw line, and ther eyebraws in the dark. The main actress was Natalie Press, but she was negligible. Anyone could have done that roll. There is two other things really made this movie shine. One was the country side view. It was so marvelously shot. It was breathtakingly beautiful. And then the music. It was like as if I am dreaming. A dreamy music I would say. This movie is not just another low budget film. It was a movie to be remembered for years and an instant classic. You should try to find it in from some kind of a download site or from amazon or something. It will open your eyes and ears. PS: This is a movie about a girl falling in love with another girl but it is not a lesbian lover movie.

. . . it is such pure story telling and so well storied. I want to avoid doing spoilers so there's little I can write here. I loved especially the way the writers and cast and crew avoid easy conventions and predictability. Whatever ya do, watch this film. Near the end of the movie, ask yourself this question: what, if anything did Tamsin do wrong and why? Your firm or tentative conclusion will tell you a huge amount about yourself.

I was expecting more from this movie, based on the reviews. It seems people were overly-excited about the leading actresses and the prospect of a lesbian-themed movie. The dialogue and the movie weren't all that good, but if you watch movies of this type with the aim to become physically stimulated in a base way, you might be satisfied. But if you are looking for a more well-rounded movie, you will be disappointed.

Great coming of age movie that will not make you bored. I think that the acting was good as well as the story. I initially rented this movie from a video store just to see what it was about and then later purchased the movie on Amazon. The product arrived on time and was new and in original plastic as advertised.

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 wanted to see her (EMILY) first movie, yikes its bad.

This was my introduction to Emily Blunt and I have watched virtually everything she has been in, both good and bad, since seeing this film. I purchased this most recently to add to my library of existing Emily Blunt films. I believe that this film, not her first, was very early in her career. She demonstrated early on that she is a gifted actor and has shown she can present different characteristics in her variety of roles and has been equally skilled in drama or comedy as well as in musicals. In this one she is a girl of wealth who is free spirited and experiments sexually with another girl who is not financially well off (Natalie Press) who more or less falls in love with Blunt’s character. The film is far more than just same sex issues but also relationship issues. This may not be her finest film but it was an incredible triumph for a young actor.

This film bordered on a horror film without the fantasy elements. But, for me, the plot was much more frightening than any large budget, computer-image-driven horror film -- because it really could happen to any of us human types who dare to venture into the landmine peppered fields of sex & romance. I'm very imressed with Pawlikowski's direction, and the finely woven ensemble performances of Natalie Press, Emily Blunt & Paddy Considine. This is what I love about small independent films; especially those crafted in Great Britain. Great Job!

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 hassles spoiler info - will give the story away but will try to not reveal the ending Wasn'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

A great movie . Almost French in its style. Nothing like the book. Reminded of other teenage films Rita Sue or Wish you were here . Sunday evening classic

My summer of love è un film profondo,in cui non solo vengono mostrati i sentimenti e i turbamenti dei personaggi principali,ma anche le caratteristiche di altri personaggi che si presentano spesso come gente ipocrita,pronta a giudicare negativamente ciò che non riesce a comprendere e di cui ha timore. È notevole come questo film risalti i vari stati d'animo della protagonista e i suoi stessi sentimenti talvolta calpestati proprio dalla ragazza da lei amata. Questo film è certamente triste,ma merita d'esser veduto,poiché offre un giusto insegnamento. Quello,cioè,di trattare con rispetto i sentimenti umani e di non considerarli alla stregua di giocattoli. I sentimenti hanno un gran valore e se ne si calpesta la purezza e la sincerità,prendono il sopravvento quelli negativi,quali la rabbia e il dolore,che possono condurre la persona ad azioni drastiche.

Je viens de découvrir avec grand plaisir ce réalisateur aux goûts de sujets éclectiques, servis par une grande maitrise narrative. Ici, je m’attendais à une tarte à la crème convenue, et bien, pas du tout. Je conseille très volontiers ce film
