United States | TV Guide | "Fred Zinnemann waited 40 years to make this surprisingly lifeless film, a major disappointment from the acclaimed director of'High Noon' and 'From Here To Eternity'." | NEG |
United Kingdom | Time Out | "A film which creates drama more out of gesture and nuance than dialogue, and employs a lush setting which overwhelms instead of pointing up the characters' emotions." | NEU |
United States | Variety | "An attempt at an intimate personal drama that just doesn't come off, Five Days One Summer is so slow that it seems more like 'Five Summers One Day'." | NEG |
United States | The New York Times | "Most of the movie is simply about mountain climbing, something that is undoubtedly more thrilling to attempt than it is to watch." | NEU |
