Reviews

‘The charm — the midsummer enchantment — never feels forced; it steals up and wins you. A true romance.’
★★★★
Anthony Lane, The New Yorker

‘Out of this melancholy scenario comes an honest but affectionate portrait of an amorphous romance – not to mention one of the most tantalising and ingenious endings in all cinema.’
Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian
