"My Summer of Love" tells the story of a young girl with a newly-christian brother, who meets a strange rich girl one day and begins to fall in love with her. As they step over their former boundaries together, a bond begins to form that gets tested when some lies begin to come clearer.
This is a typical coming-of-age drama, centered around some very different girls with not so different problems. At some points it tried a bit too hard to add drama and meaning but overall it has its moments. In the end it maybe is not so much a story of love than it is a story of power and abuse. Personally, I would have wished for some more powerful ups and downs, but nonetheless you can read a lot into it.
All in all there are better films in this genre but there are also definitely worse. If you like more thoughtful films that don't necessarily involve a lot of action, this one could be just right for you.
