My Summer of Love

Beth's Review: I couldn't remember the title to this one for a moment, and wanted to just paraphrase the title as "Happiness and Girls". I guess that's what this movie gave to me. Happiness, girls, girls being happy together, girls finding their own happiness. I was a bit resentful of the sexualizing of it all, though. I cried out in disbelief when the leading ladies decided that the friendship could be more than that. I guess I'm stuck on the sister situation. You wouldn't fuck your sister. So that's where I stand.

Jesse's Review:
Well, I have to agree. This film I like for it's slice of rurality, the ennui and brazen energy embodied by these two lovely young actresses. Characterizations are few, but rich in subtext. The religious thing here cast in the converted brother (of one of the girls) is brilliant. So are the Cornwall (?) scenery, location scouting and extra suprises! 3.9/5
