Days of the Bagnold Summer

Days of the Bagnold Summer poster

A cute little comedy from Simon Bird, the lead of The Inbetweeners. The comedy is somewhat recognizable, though not quite as teen/sex-focused and not always as explicitly funny either. It's not a full-on dramedy though, Bird keeps it light and amusing enough to avoid that trap.

The comedy is pleasantly dry, the performances are strong, and there's a nice balance between drama and comedy without ever losing sight of the film's main genre. Also, the heavy metal actually sounds heavy for a change. The plot is meandering, and the film is a bit on the short side (not a critique I often use), but overall this was a very neat little surprise.
