There may be spoilers the rest of the review
Verdict: Quirky, Different Comedy
Story: A Dozen Summers starts with our Narrator (Baker) telling a story before Maisie (Scarlett) & Daisy (Hero Hall) interrupt him hijacking his film to make their own film. The twins argue about their ideas breaking the fourth wall by making this their own brain storming idea for a film. Each scene explores ideas the girls would have for a film spanning across every genre, as they deal with everyday issues, including bullies, early romance and separated parents.
A Dozen Summers is a very low budget coming of age movie that does seem to go in a different direction to most films. It doesn’t put our main characters on a wild adventure but it does show them trying to deal with everyday growing up issues. I did like how each moment is available to be skipped or changed in a click of a finger. I did think this was a very good real feeling film. (7/10)
