“Attentive to characterful details of accent and posture, [Glenn] Close plays this tender-tough old bird beautifully, resisting twinkly sentimentality while maintaining a palpably affectionate rapport with [Emily] Matthews.” — Guy Lodge, Variety
At her family’s home on a Finnish island, young Sophia (Emily Matthews) explores the natural world with her father (Anders Danielsen Lie) and grandmother (Glenn Close). Adapted from Tove Jansson’s beloved novel, The Summer Book is a delicate account of growing up and growing old.
