Summer Coda

In the end it's the love story that counts and it's a beautifully acted and surprisingly touching relationship.

The themes of loss and moving on are sincere, but way too laboured. Angus Sampson brightens proceedings briefly as one of the fruit pickers -- will somebody please write a comedy lead for this guy? -- but otherwise it's an emotionally flat affair.

he bucolic rhythms of life in the orange grove have a lot of allure. It's Eden on the Murray and if you sit back and let its glories wash over you, you'll find a lot here to like.

Ultimately, Summer Coda fits the paradigm of a romantic drama.
