Summer in February
The film tells a true tale of love, liberty and scandal amongst the Edwardian artists' colony in Cornwall. Two friends (Dominic Cooper, Dan Stevens) 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.

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.

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.

...Summer In February eventually settles into a dull routine much like the dissatisfied characters of the film, which will make for an easily dissatisfied audience.

The performances are but one eye roll-inducing aspect of a period drama so generic and formulaic that it verges on parody.

Gorgeous scenes along the Cornish coast are impressive, but the film lacks the dynamic chemistry between lovers that's so important in a romance-themed movie.

A ceaselessly bland take on the famed Lamorna artists' colony in Cornwall, circa 1911.

Real-life historical drama about a Bohemian artists' colony in Cornwall just before World War I ignores their work... to focus on a tediously tragic romantic triangle.

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.

Blah Britpic offers scenery but little else.

A poor script and patchy performances drag down this Edwardian-era drama.

Cooper stomps around ineffectually, Stevens makes for a blandly tame suitor, and Browning is unable to ignite any chemistry with either. The scenery is stunning. But the swooning has all the heat of a midwinter's swim.

Compared with the tepid contretemps of "Summer in February," the soap-opera theatrics of "Downton Abbey" have the depth of Chekhov.
