    Superbly acted, movingly written, and directed with a tough-minded lyricism rarely found in today's films. A summer movie to love.

    This is as wonderfully realized an observation of female affinity as 1999’s great "The Dreamlife of Angels."

    Some of the metaphors are a bit too literal but the director largely succeeds with his story and the surprises are convincing. Best of all the film has a terrific sense of humor and the young actresses exploit it delightfully.

    Perfect acting, good story and anti-Christian theme make My Summer Of Love one of the best movies I've ever seen. The only weakness is that the last 20 minutes are too predictable. But it's still a fantastic movie.… Expand

    Two girls from different backgrounds meet one Summer, spend time together, fall in love, Summer ends.
    Decent story & well acted out by the two     lead actresses &, of course, Paddy Considine.
    Nice setting of a small Northern town & a good soundtrack to back it up.    … Expand

    Typically class obsessed UK story of 2 girls from different sides of the tracks. And yes they do end up having girl on girl sex, but you would have to be wound up pretty tight to call it pornographic. Nothing new here and not a special movie but not as bad as some of these last reviews suggest.… Expand

    I'll also agree with "Mark's" comments below. Forget the fact that the critics raved about this movie. It's not even average...it's awful.… Expand
