Gemma Arterton Shines In Subversive Tearjerker ‘Summerland’ [Review]

There is a scene early on in “Summerland,” a romantic WWII drama by Jessica Swale, that calls to mind the pilot of “Killing Eve.” In “Killing Eve,” we first meet assassin Villanelle (Jodi Comer) in an ice cream shop, where, after smiling benignly at a little girl, she walks out and pushes the little girl’s ice cream onto her lap.
