Min sommar av kärlek

My Summer of Love

It's a gentle, intimate coming-of-age drama that revolves almost entirely around three characters, and is all the better for it.

...there's such a spark between the female leads...

The title of "My Summer of Love" gives away two games at once: That she will fall in love, and that autumn will come.

Their romance seems alternately fluid and jaunty, as they explore one another and their own feelings, partly a function of cinematographer Ryszard Lenczewski’s nimble handheld camerawork, and partly of Pawlikowski’s affection...

For girls, it's an ode to friendship. For lads, it's a dollop of babe-on-babe action. For arthouse aficionados, it's a good namedrop. Win, win, win.
