A Burning Hot Summer Ratings & Reviews
Film Comment Magazine
Kent Jones
I have never seen a Garrel film untouched by grace, and A Burning Hot Summer is no exception.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
While I have to acknowledge Garrel's skill, the film, which actually has its compelling moments, falls somewhat flat.
Chicago Reader
Drew Hunt
Garrel's work is indebted to silent cinema style, but his recent films have shown a real flair for dialogue too.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
"A Burning Hot Summer" failed to persuade me of any reason for its existence.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
There are spirited moments, notably Angle's torrid dance with another man at a party. But the film's observations are surprisingly retrograde, even absurd.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Here and elsewhere you linger in moments that, like memories and dreams, can feel severed from storybook time.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
Although Angle's religious faith and Frdric's belief in luck seem like strained attempts at adding heft to the material, the film nevertheless works up a potent dramatic restlessness...
Slant Magazine
Ela Bittencourt
The Louis Garrel character's mixture of self-containment and alleged possessiveness over his wife fails to convince, if not to irritate.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
This existential-romantic roundelay barely simmers, and certainly doesn't scorch.
House Next Door
Fernando F. Croce
Though shot in swanky color, the film retains the alternately trying and invigorating starkness of the director's recent, black-and-white efforts.
