Summer

About This Movie

So, 'Summer' is this quiet drama set in rural England. It kind of immerses you in this steamy atmosphere, where the heat almost feels palpable. The pacing is deliberately slow, letting you linger in those moments of tension and unspoken feelings. The focus is on a young sheep shearer, grappling with his attraction to a colleague, which is handled with a subtlety that's refreshing. There’s a rawness to the performances—very naturalistic, which is quite fitting given the setting. The practical effects, especially those surrounding the shearing, add an authenticity that complements the story well. It’s distinctive in how it depicts the complexities of young desire against a backdrop of labor and the rural landscape. Worth a look, if you appreciate character-driven stories.
