Stars: Niamh Walter, Nyobi Hendry, Rebecca Palmer, Zaqi Ismail, Fiona Gillies, Helen Masters, Joe Welch | Written by Isobel Boyce | Directed by Alice Millar
Described as a psychological thriller, Summer in the Shade tells the tale of a young girl at the time she is transitioning from child to woman and the difficulties she has with this.
Summer in the Shade’s main issue for me is what kind of film it is. As I said above, the director describes it as a psychological thriller but that suggests something at least a bit more fast-paced than this is. The pace is slower and more heavily focused on the coming of age story of Grace. This is no bad thing though, although the film then does seem unsure whether it wants to go down the horror path or not. It shows lots of hints at this but never seems to want to pull the trigger.
