Music Box Films is set to release their acclaimed drama THE SUMMER BOOK on VOD and digital platforms later this month, arriving on October 21st, 2025. The film world premiered at the 2024 BFI London Film Festival, and launched in US theaters in select theaters on September 19th, 2025.
The Summer Book is directed by Charlie McDowell, written by Robert Jones, and stars Glenn Close, Emily Matthews, and Anders Danielsen Lie. It is based on Tove Jansson's 1972 novel of the same name.
In the film, nine-year-old Sophia (Emily Matthews) spends the summers at her family’s seasonal home on a tranquil isle in the Gulf of Finland, but this will be the first summer without her mother. Her father (Anders Danielsen Lie) remains numbed by grief, while her grandmother (Glenn Close) guides her on a giddy, winding path towards young adulthood.
With a sense of infinite possibility and a tender regard for the wonders of the natural world, Sophia and her grandmother explore the terrain, celebrate midsommar, and test the limits of faith in the face of life’s many storms.
