The Summer We Learned to Fly 2the review
The last episodes are certainly the most moving, but also the funniest. There are some details of Kate and Tully’s life and character that help to get to know them even better. New nuances emerge and it is even clearer why they complement each other: one is the strength of the other, even when the inevitable tries to divide them.
It is even more evident, then, the fact that although they embody two opposite personalities, they are quite similar. Tallulah Rose Hurt and Kate are still the strong and independent one who doesn’t need anything or anyone against each other with a good and fragile heart, the introvert. But the differences are more subtle.
For their part, Sarah Chalke and Katherine Heigl don’t spare themselves, giving many emotions to a strong story which saves nothing. Selfless love photography capable of overcoming misunderstandings and fractures. Even more in front of the disease. Because what unites them is much greater, as simple as dancing on Dancing queen by ABBA – something that hasn’t changed since my teenage days.
