Starring Monica Dolan, Rob Brydon, Tamsin Greig, Nathanael Saleh, Alice Lowe, Grace Hogg-Robinson, Earl Cave
A teenager spends his summer listening to heavy metal music and trying to get along with his librarian mom.
Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019) sweetly draws you into the wobbly relationship between well-intentioned single librarian Sue Bagnold and her black-clad teenage son Daniel, who'd rather listen to Metallica than his mother. Daniel was meant to spend the summer in Florida visiting his dad, but is now stuck with Mum following the trip's cancellation. The film boasts supporting turns by Rob Brydon and Alice Lowe, but belongs to its two leads.
Earl Cave and Monica Dolan are a delight in this charming comedy directed by The Inbetweeners’ Simon Bird
★★★★ - The Guardian
