My Summer Of Love was surprisingly beautiful, dark, sweet, and unexpected, added with Natalie Press and Emily Blunt great chemistry and outstanding perfomance, it was one of those movie that you think will just another romance movie that was really have nothing in it, and then you watch it, it blews your mind, same like my reaction, with no expectation at all, My Summer Of Love is succeed making me speechless on how incredible and amazing this movie was, My Summer Of Love is probably one of the most, if not the most unexpected Masterpiece movie i've ever watch, i highly recommended.
What an interesting powerful movie. In an hour and a half it tackles so many issues in everyone's daily life. **** seems to randomly hit the two actresses in the way this subject doesn't even look like being the centre of the movie. It bears its name really well as the two main characters seem to forget themselves during the whole plot. Events happens one after another without truly defining the protagonists who just want to try to be people they are not.
Acting is great especially by Emily Blunt while I couldn't help but think Natalie Press was playing like some sort of **** teenage girl. We have a few informations about characters' backgrounds' and history which make us understand where they all are coming from. The parallel plot with the brother's beliefs is great and bring some depth to the movie.
The overall atmosphere is awesome. Ending (no spoil) is really worth the trip.
My Summer of Love, with its lush, sunlit landscapes, may occupy the opposite end of the visual spectrum, but it reinforces the sense that this director knows his way around the range of human emotion as well.
Excorcism On Love.
My Summer Of Love
Pawlikowski has always been keen on details. From camera work to his meticulous adaptation to Helen Cross's novel, he has reasons and rights to fall deep into them, as a result we too are falling into it. This short and often shifty ride that pops back and forth i.e. from romance to thriller and from drama to satire, the sense of urgency and provoking irritation of not achieving the freedom, speaks clearly how and when Pawel Pawlikowski; the screenwriter and director, triumphs on his work.
The first half of the film basically just sweeps away all the distraction and the introductory formalities of the structure where subconsciously Mona's (Natalie Press) lack of freedom on even an opinion and Tamsin's (Emily Blunt) flight of freedom is jolted down accurately on screen. The typical rift between siblings is exaggerated wisely to a suicidal rage in order to express the confound and cornered emotions of Mona completely to us.
And this tug of war of controlling each others lives is the core equation of the film solved effortlessly by the makers. Phil, Mona's brother, played by Paddy Considine is a forced to be reckoned with. His powerful character and performance creates a spiritual antagonist fighting both metaphorically and literally on screen. Blunt's performance defines when she listens to Phil and his ideologies that captures her; he is easy she claims later on, but she does fool us for a moment. Unfortunately, the lead actor, Press isn't as outstanding as her supporting cast is, her conflicts are easily absorbing hence it grows easy on us. The film is not as breezy as it looks, it notions towards dark territories and then beams within a snap, leaving us shook and satisfied. My Summer Of Love is a brief affair, exhilarating, bumpy and wiser.
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.
Mona has a fantastic moped, which only cost ten dollars. It doesn't have an engine, but it's definitely a bargain. Mona lives with her brother Phil who doesn't approve of her friendship with Tasmin. when I saw it for the first time this movie didn't thrill me at all but it is still better than 99% of the teen movies that are produced today.
