In the Summers Ratings & Reviews
Kevin Ward
July 2, 2025
Two sisters spend their summers with their father Vincente at his home in Las Cruces, New Mexico while they spend the rest of the year in California. The film spans from the girls’ childhood to young adulthood, but only glimpsed in vignettes of various summers with their father. It captures the messiness of parent-child relationships which I’m sure gets exacerbated by 9-10 month absences. At times, the girls have their father on a pedestal, other times they’re completely let down by him. The truth in almost every case is that when we reach adulthood we see our parents with a very different lens than we had growing up. At some point we find acceptance of the fact that they’re just flawed human beings like the rest of us. Winner of the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic film at Sundance and while I didn’t love some a aspects of it that delved a bit much into the melodramatic, it was an otherwise understated family drama and a great film on which to close out my Sundance 2024. Sasha Calle, Lio Mehiel and Residente all give excellent performances.

An exquisite film.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Claudia Puig
This is a lovely, tender, and pitch-perfect first film by a very talented new voice.
The Inlander (Spokane, WA)
Josh Bell
The sun-dappled cinematography evokes a sense of childhood memories that are always sweet even when tinged with sadness, and Lacorazza captures the liminal space of Las Cruces as a border town between both nations and cultures.
48 Hills
Dennis Harvey
This episodic narrative can feel loose, almost directionless-but then it's about lives for whom those qualities are a kind of affliction. Few movies capture this kind of slow-disintegration big picture...
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
The result is a modest but sure collection of tangled memories, dramatized.
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
Latin rapper René "Residente" Pérez Joglar is phenomenal in his acting debut...there is no denying the power of the carefully layered incidents which form the portrayal of a flawed man who nonetheless gave his daughters everything he could.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This incisive and visually striking coming-of-age drama builds a cumulatively bittersweet emotional power that transcends cultural boundaries

Marya E. Gates
After two knockout performances in a row, I hope Lío Mehiel gets more opportunities to showcase their immense talent.

It reflects the ways in which those fleeting moments we spend with our families add up, however happily or unhappily, to the first draft of a personal history we're then left as adults to parse and process.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
The whole film, in its quiet and observant way, is a tragedy...
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
It increases in power as it proceeds, as Violeta and Eva grow older and gain sharper understandings of their father's flaws.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Engrossing and tender.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
In the Summers is a well-acted portrait of two daughters and their troubled father, in a story that spans several years. More character development was needed for the daughters' adult years, but the movie has impactful authenticity.
Detroit News
Adam Graham
[Lacorazza Samudio] has a finely tuned radar for emotional nuance, and "In the Summers" is an honest film about forgiveness, growth and acceptance of one's limitations.
Slant Magazine
Chuck Bowen
One of the film's great strengths resides in Alessandra Lacorazza Samudio's confidence in her details to speak for themselves, without the need of plot gimmickry.
IndieWire
Esther Zuckerman
Because of this attention to the environment that shapes these hot days, In the Summers is brimming full of its characters' internal aches rendered elegantly across time.
RogerEbert.com
Robert Daniels
"In the Summers" is a handsomely mounted film whose highly calibrated structure left me feeling distant from a single father and his bumpy relationship with his two daughters.
Variety
Carlos Aguilar
"In the Summers" is the type of personal, confidently executed first outing that should hopefully put the filmmaker on an auspicious track to produce other keenly humanist work.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
This is a film that prioritizes character and that is where it excels.
