Summer in February is a British drama film based on a true story about the complicated love triangle that occurred between the artists of the Newlyn School during the summer of 1913. The movie is directed by Christopher Menaul, and Gabriel Range and Jonathan Smith adapt the script from Jonathan Smith's novel, Summer in February. The story revolved around the love triangle between Florence Carter-Wood, the young and undecided artist from London, Alfred Munnings, an ambitious painter who becomes one of the leaders of the Newlyn School, and Gilbert Evans, his best friend, a land agent who is attracted to Carter-Wood. The plot also features other characters such as Dorothy and Laura, two artists Carter-Wood befriends during her stay in Cornwall.

Dominic Cooper plays the role of Alfred Munnings, a self-centered artist who is obsessed with gaining fame and recognition. Emily Browning portrays Florence Carter-Wood, an uncertain and indecisive young artist who is drawn to Munnings' charisma but struggles with his emotional immaturity. Dan Stevens plays the role of Gilbert Evans, Munnings' best friend who falls for Carter-Wood and tries to help her navigate the love triangle.

The movie begins with Carter-Wood's arrival in the fishing village of Cornwall, where she meets Munnings and his group of artists who make up the Newlyn School. She quickly becomes enamored with Munnings and the bohemian lifestyle that the group represents. Meanwhile, Evans, who is already infatuated with Carter-Wood, tries to persuade her to leave Munnings and consider his feelings for her.

As the summer progresses, tensions rise between the three main characters, and the love triangle becomes more and more complicated. Evans tries to win over Carter-Wood's affections, but his disappointment with her indecisiveness eventually leads him to make a bold decision. Meanwhile, Munnings' obsession with his work and his growing frustration with Carter-Wood's lack of commitment drive him to make some devastating choices.

The filming style of the movie is beautiful, capturing the stunning landscapes and colors of Cornwall's scenic coast. The scenes portraying the artistic process are also incredibly well made, with the actors portraying the painters in authentic and believable ways. The movie's score is also worth mentioning, as it perfectly fits the tone of the movie.

Overall, Summer in February is an emotionally charged drama that explores the relationships between artists and their obsession with their work. The characters are well developed, and the actors deliver outstanding performances, bringing the story to life in a captivating way. The movie's gorgeous cinematography, exquisite score, and fine direction make it a must-watch for art enthusiasts and romance aficionados alike.

Summer in February is a 2013 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 40 minutes. It has received poor reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 5.6 and a MetaScore of 22.
