Summer in February (2013 Christopher Menaul)

Found it difficult to connect to this film, with only Andrew Dunn's photography standing out (even this is different to his normal look and is quite diffused). Screenplay is dull as is the story. Wasn't convinced by the acting either - Dan Stevens, Dominic Cooper, Emily Browning, Hattie Monahan, Shaun Dingwall.

Kept wanting them to go off to the local Kinograph and catch that new sensation Charlie Chaplin, or a D.W. Griffith (it's 1913), rather than poetry recitals.
