	Author	Review
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An appealingly simple, poetically conceived (...) She [Alante Kavaite] has (...) been fortunate to find two distinctively contrasting young actresses who convincingly portray a roller-coaster of impulses and emotions."	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"It’s all very heady and voluptuous, but it’s also painfully superficial (...) Every move seems staged just to capture the prettiest picture. Summer lovin’ never looked so gorgeous, or so idealized."	NEU
United States	Scott Foundas Variety	"A sensuous and sensitive teen romance in which the real roller-coaster ride is that of turbulent adolescent emotion"	POS
United States	Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times	"Distractingly lovely to look at, the film can't make Sangaile's struggles or triumphs matter."	NEU
United States	J.R. Jones Chicago Reader	"There's something cold about 'Sangaile'. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
