3 stars out of 4 -- Simón bypasses most of the sentimentality normally associated with a film like this, opting instead for a mature exploration of grief and its aftereffects.

4 stars out of 5 -- Coaxing performances of astonishing naturalism out of Artigas and Robles, Simón deftly uses everyday incidents to capture the darker aspects of childhood innocence, as well as its simple joys.

Rating: 5/5 -- Its depiction of Frida as being at the mercy of powerful emotions she cannot yet comprehend, and how childhood itself is often bittersweet, is universal and timeless. Full Review

Writer-director Carla Simón, whose gentle, poetic drama SUMMER 1993 reflects on the time she went to live with her uncle’s family after the death of her mother, offers a relatable array of candid emotions and observations that feel distinctly culled from real life.

Rating: 3/5 -- The film doesn't detour or disturb, doesn't serpentine or surprise, as great cinema can. It just puts everything on the thematic picnic plate and tells us to get eating. Full Review
