✨✨What if i broke up with you and got married to a pilot because i knew he would die at war. Get pregnant, send the child to you so he can call you his mother too and then show up so we can all be a happy family together???✨✨

i 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.

For what it is, Summerland is solidly made, but don’t expect anything extraordinary from the production.

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. It showcases her in a variety of modes and moods and provide some huge acting moments that make us recognize that, somewhere along the line, Arterton has become a powerhouse.
