My Summer of Love (A Review)

[bigmoe69er]

A brilliant little masterpiece is out there on the art film circuit. The name of the movie is My Summer of Love. In the Yorkshire countryside, working-class tomboy Mona (Nathalie Press) meets the exotic, pampered Tasmin (Emily Blunt). Over the summer, the two young women discover that they have much to teach each other and much to explore together. I loved this film on many levels, and it did a poignant job in exposing the mythology of christianity without being offensive. In addition to Press and Blunt, an outstanding performance was also delivered by Paddy Considine as Mona's found the lord brother Phil. A must see!!! 3.5 out of 4 on the Dr. Moe scale.

Personally, I prefer to expose the mythology of Christianity by being offensive. Particularly to people who knock on my door unsolicited, looking to "save me".

As to the movie, it's gotten some stellar reviews and I look forward to seeing it. I'll have to wait for it to come out on video, I'm sure. It doesn't seem likely it will play any theatre here in Podunk (I mean Winnipeg). I love the tag line for the movie ... "the most dangerous thing to want is more".

I didn't really read the review, but if there's chicks in the film and their hot, chances are I've fukked 'em.

Gee thanks lenny. I was going to see this film.

Anytime, bud. Just for you here is some more commentary:

My Summer of Love is this summer's most intoxicating and intriguing romance. From Pawel Pawlikowski, the award-winning director of "Last Resort", comes a tale of obsession and deception, and the struggle for love and faith in a world where both seem impossible. The passionate, droll, and mysterious drama features striking performances from its two lead actresses, both of whom are movie newcomers. The film vibrantly charts the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom one summer for two young women (Natalie Press and Emily Blunt). Mona (played by Ms. Press), behind a spiky exterior, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life. Tamsin (Ms. Blunt) is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. As they are complete opposites, each is wary of the other's differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascination, amusement and attraction. Adding further volatility is Mona's older brother Phil (Paddy Considine), who has renounced his criminal past for religious fervor - which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is experiencing her own rapture. "We must never be parted," Tamsin intones to Mona but can Mona completely trust her?

#1. If you can believe my BSing all the time, maybe you can believe
that i even saw the movie, let alone the end.

#2. Judge not lest you be judged.

#3. I am righteous in my motive, regardless of whether or not that
appeals to others' selfishness in this issue.

You obviously know about the ending.....as to you being intelligent enough to sit through the entire film, I cannot judge because I do not know you. It is immature of you to ruin the film for others.

[lenny]

Ditto the 3 points of my previous post...

Do you really think i'd see a romantic movie, let alone
one about 2 lesbos?

Romance is a 4 letter word...

Why would you say that is obvious?

Are you ruining it for others?

Good for you, Lenny; you deleted your foul deed.
