    • Trivia
      Feature film directorial debut of Jessica Swale.
    • Goofs
      There are a number of key scenes set on the beach. At the time the film is set (early 1940s), the entire coastline of the south east of England was mined and access was restricted by barbed-wire barriers, all in anticipation of an expected German invasion. It would not have been possible (and indeed would have been very dangerous) to go onto the beaches below the cliffs.

      Alice: Go on. Don't be a coward.

    Simple but effective.
    Summerland is an easy to watch enjoyable movie. Nothing too difficult, just a simple story with a good outcome. The kind of movie where the characters get your attention and compassion. Gemma Arterton did a good job playing her character and as for the kids, Lucas Bond and Dixie Egerickx certainly were not annoying to watch. They all delivered here which is not always obvious with child actors. The story is well written, not a fast pace but certainly interesting to watch and the ending was a bit surprising but in a good way. Definitely worth a watch.
