Two friends at a 1913 British artists' colony compete for the affections of a comely debutante, but the object of their pursuit soon learns to regret her choice.

Critics Consensus

It boasts beautiful scenery, but in every other respect, Summer in February is a painfully bland period drama.

1.0/5

Regardless of its true-story credentials, Summer In February seems to have been cobbled together from the moldy spare parts of countless Masterpiece Theater PBS movies.

2.5/5

In the end, it's a miserable movie about miserable people, and we're left to wonder why. But any further time spent considering this forgettable romance feels wasted.

1.5/4

It's sad when a movie that aspires to tell a sad, even tragic, story can't quite connect, and lies there inert on the screen instead of galvanizing or even stirring emotions the way it means to.

2/5

The film is clearly a labour of love, but it never really transcends its safe Sunday telly atmosphere and sadly it feels like a missed opportunity.

2/5

Characters' motivations often make no sense at all and people veer wildly between being likeable and ghastly with little attempt to provide explanation or context.

A tragic mistake but a beautiful film. Very well acted with gorgeous cinematography. It really touched me. If you don't know about social mores in that period, though, you probably wouldn't understand why they just didn't get the marriage annulled or get a divorce, but at that time, all three of them would have been ostracized completely and their lives totally ruined. It just wasn't done.
