I didn’t really want to write a review at the beginning. Remember, like school. A double is remembered by behavior, an excellent student by grades. And there are middle-aged people who are not particularly remembered. This is the movie too.
A British drama or comedy is always an expectation.
The expectations are not likely to be justified...
Best Summer is a pretty phlegmatic movie. There are no sharp turns of the plot, you will not see the heat of passion either. Where will he come from if one arguer is a grandmother-like woman librarian, whose best years are far behind and an amoeba son is a metalworker. I heard that metal is the music of outsiders, but here is a very quiet rebel.
In the film, there are a lot of conversations, locations only 2-3, and humor glimpses in moments of meetings between the main character and her sister - they exchange barbs about men.
Also in the picture there is a small trip by car, I liked it.
In 2020, “King of Staten Island” was released and this film can be called the twin brother of “Best Summer”. But--
If one brother listens to good old-fashioned heavy metal a la Manowar and drinks coca, the other brother is drawn to Lamb of God and scores a spin. . .
