Owen Gleiberman

Pawlikowski has made a romance that becomes a horror movie in which love, more than anything around it, is a delusionary fever to fear. Read full review

Premiere Staff (Not credited)

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

Andrew O'Hehir

Its stars, Emily Blunt and Natalie Press, are film newcomers who give startling performances. The photography is often breathtakingly original. Read full review

Marc Mohan

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. Read full review

Desson Thomson

Remains highly watchable throughout, for its atmosphere and the actors. Read full review

Roger Ebert

This isn't a coming-of-age movie so much as a movie about being of an age. Read full review

Michael Sragow

Pawlikowski's heart may be with Mona, but his art is closer to Tamsin. He luxuriates in his sensibility without delivering a movie that pays off in originality or insight. Read full review

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,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.… Expand

The best film I've seen this year. It is stunningly beautiful. England's countryside draws you in. You won't be able to take your eyes off the principal actresses; they're brilliant. This is an art film that delivers...I hope Hollywood is paying attention.

Extremely well acted. Our sympathies lie with Mona, and even grow at the end, despite the revelation of her darker side. A very fine, emotionally genuine film.

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.

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.

An utter waste of time. glorifying lesbianism and having disdain for any christian belief.

Apparently, there is a 3-step formula for making a profound film- shaky camera + a homosexual relationship + pseudo-intellectual ridicule of the Christian faith= this movie is a predictable, tedious waste of time.
