Summer '04 Ratings & Reviews
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
More in the nature of audience eavesdropping on some scandalous neighbors than gripping or meaningful storytelling, the film is wracked with superficial, amoral characters and petty, hand wringing sordid emotional preoccupations and obsessions.
Detroit Free Press
John Monaghan
What better way to spend 97 minutes in November than trying to sort out romantic complications in shorts and sailboats?
european-films.net
Boyd van Hoeij
If Krohmer and Knocke meticulously crafted the world Miriam inhabits, it is Gedeck's presence that makes it such a tangible mess -- which is meant as high praise indeed.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Straight ahead in form but unnerving and unexpected in content.
Houston Chronicle
Amy Biancolli
All I know is, I didn't buy it. It didn't scan. And I'm sorry it didn't, because Summer '04 offers much to admire and a few things to fear.
The Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
Although intelligent and insightful, Summer '04 is also more than just a little bit dull.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
A well-crafted and deceptively leisurely film, with a heart of ice.
Observer
Andrew Sarris
[A] warmly stirring romantic maelstrom of five multigenerational libidos let loose at a lakeside vacation site.
TV Guide
Ken Fox
The film unfolds with cold, Chabrolian detachment and quietly builds to a coolly satisfying denouement that leaves everyone involved -- including the audience -- second-guessing everything that's come before.
New York Times
Matt Zoller Seitz
Summer '04 is so plainly the product of meticulous forethought that the shooting script might have been etched on marble slabs.
Film Journal International
Rex Roberts
The resulting cinematic chimera isn't remarkably pretty, but it's pretty remarkable.
EURWeb
Kam Williams
As twisted and steamy a psychological thriller as you could hope to find, provided you're not put off by the pedophilia coursing through this intriguing romantic roundelay.
Film-Forward.com
Kent Turner
This blunt and methodical chamber-piece thriller, filled with deceptively lazy afternoons, has the seductive and flinty heart of a Ruth Rendell novel.
Village Voice
Michelle Orange
The actors rise to the challenge of Nocke's tricky, high-flown script, and Krohmer meets them there.
Slant Magazine
Ed Gonzalez
Summer '04 couldn't have come soon enough.

Derek Elley
Summer '04 more than confirms the promise of young Teuton helmer Stefan Krohmer.
eye WEEKLY
Adam Nayman
A rare thing: a successfully asymmetrical drama.
