Editorial Review:
There's a tantalizing touch of irony in the title My Summer of Love, since this superbly-acted relationship drama reveals much more than love between its curiously fascinating characters. As directed by Polish-born Pawel Pawlikowski (a veteran of British TV documentaries whose previous film was the praiseworthy Last Resort), this unconventional love story is an engrossing exercise in mood and psychology, set in a bleak but invitingly sunlit village in Yorkshire. It's there that lonely, working-class teenager Mona (Nathalie Press) encounters rebellious rich-girl Tamsin (Emily Blunt), and their unlikely friendship grows intimate... but is it really love? Or is Tamsin (who was suspended from boarding school) merely indulging her clever penchant for emotional manipulation during a lazy summer of privilege? Mona's born-again Christian brother (Paddy Considine) factors into the film's languorous mood and complex emotional landscape; this is a film in which love and loss are inseparably intertwined, and motivations remain partially hidden, making it all the more powerful when guarded truths are revealed. In addition to being a compelling study of class distinctions, My Summer of Love includes scenes of anxious menace and some unexpected surprises, packing more into 84 minutes than most films manage in two hours or more. Pawlikowski was listed among "10 directors to watch" in a 2005 article in Variety, and My Summer of Love validates that acclaim. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Not worth 5 stars, but each to their own
Personally, I thought My Summer Of Love was worth 4 stars, right up until the ending. The finale was a major let down for me, and as a result, it's only getting a 3 star review.
I picked this up, as it was in a cheap deal, and it had been on my wishlist for a while. It was cheap, and it sounded pretty good, so what is there to go wrong?
Set in a Yorkshire village, we observe two 16 year old girls, growing into their bodies and their sexuality and all that nonsense. Instantly, ... Read More
Rating:  - It's All Personal Preference
I could never in my right mind give My Summer of Love five stars. At the same time, I can see why people would enjoy it. While it isn't entirely originial, it still has some aspects to it which actually kept me watching. I was ready to turn off the television at some points during the movie to the lack of quality acting. The characters personalities in general were over the top and quite annoying. I felt frustrated throughout the film and wondered why I had paid so much for a movie like it.

For those of you who like Imagine Meand You do not rent this it doesnt compare
Rating: - A pretty good lesbian-themed movie.
"My Summer of Love" is a pretty good lesbian-themed film. However, everyone, whether gay or straight, will be sure to like this movie as it's mostly about two girls finding each other and becoming very good friends. It stars actresses Emily Blunt and Nathalie Press.
So what's this movie about? First of all, as I said above, this movie isn't completely about lesbians. In fact, Mona (played by Nathalie Press) appears to be into boys whereas Tamsin's (Emily Blunt) orientation isn't clear. There's ... Read More
Rating:  - A Hidden Gem
It won British film of the year yet here in the US this film is completly under the radar. What a shame. I talk about this film in the same breath with One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest and Apocolypse Now as one of the best films I've ever seen.
The "problem" with the film is that it requires multiple viewings. On the second viewing you begin to realize that is not just a love story - this is a movie about us...all of us...and what the heck are we thinking when we sit down to watch a movie.
