My Summer of Love

Aroview: A sunlit teenage escapade, set around two girls who develop an unlikely relationship amid the unpretty but impressive Yorkshire Dales.

The truculent befreckled Natalie Press plays the working-class half, while Emily Blunt is sullenly superior as a boarding school student esconsed at her parent's estate for the summer holidays. Slowly, with half-conviction and half-ambivalance, their friendship becomes an appealingly self-enclosed world of mutual infatuation, much to the dismay of Press' born-again Christian brother (Considine), who decides he must intervene... The dir. of LAST RESORT advances with another ambiguous, naturalistic fable of idleness in England.
