☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ A bittersweet film that had me laughing, crying, and almost everything in between. It has such a lovely story, beautiful cinematography, and wonderful characters. The harsh realities of war mixed in with the whimsy of childhood came together to create this wonderful film, and I was so…
Aya cup likedSummerlandI want to be a frightening sad lesbian in a cabin in the British countryside too
mbm_tomas likedSummerlandi have mixed feelings throughout the end mostly, but it was such a good movie, and storyline, the acting was so good, and Alice's character is amazing. I don't understand the concept of summerland, if the movie wants us to believe in it or not.

Ms. Arterton gets to play a few scenes worthy of her art before the film turns into a milking machine designed to wring feelings from a link between past and present that, once again, amounts to a construct.

The main appeal of Summerland, a considerable one, is that it allows Gemma Arterton to hold the screen for a nearly unbroken 90 minutes.
