The Inbetweeners star Simon Bird's directorial debut is a funny, charming and wince-inducingly accurate adaptation of Joff Winterhart's graphic novel, with a soundtrack by Belle & Sebastian. Days of the Bagnold Summer (2019) sweetly draws you into the wobbly relationship between well-intentioned single librarian Sue Bagnold and her black-clad teenage son Daniel, who'd rather listen to Metallica than his mother. Daniel was meant to spend the summer in Florida visiting his dad, but is now stuck with Mum following the trip's cancellation. The film boasts supporting turns by Rob Brydon and Alice Lowe, but belongs to its two leads. Long-suffering Sue is sympathetically portrayed by Monica Dolan, with Earl Cave's Daniel a suitably lank-haired, pale-skinned picture of adolescent metal-head angst. 改编自乔夫·温特哈特(Joff Winterhart)的漫画小说，讲述了一个来自单亲家庭的十几岁的重金属少年被迫与他那痛苦的方脸妈妈一起过夏天的故事。身材瘦削、满头乱发的丹尼尔和他离婚的母亲住在英国郊区，他迫不及待地想和父亲以及佛罗里达州的新家庭一起度过为期六周的暑假。然后一个电话来了，他的父亲取消了，这意味着丹尼尔被困在妈妈和她的滑稽邋遢的开襟羊毛衫。
