Stolen Summer
- Who's watched: M & G
- Mentions: None
- Commentary: This was a surprise. It came to us as the "freebie" in a very reasonably priced two pack. I think Mom enjoyed it more than me, although I liked many of the performances. There are other dead people movies I prefer to this one: The Sixth Sense and even Wide Awake, and am more likely to rewatch. So, my local library got it.
There are, however, quite a few stand-out actors and performances in this movie, so I wanted to record their performances. You never know, I may be inspired to reacquire this movie.
Update: 5/11/2022 I have not yet been inspired to reacquisition, although I checked the movie out of the library, a few years after my mother died, when I was seeking comfort in the odd moments when the reality of the death of others was restricting my breath. I used City of Angels to the same purpose.
