	Author	Review
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"In 'A Burning Hot Summer' (...), two men fall into friendship, and while little happens, everything is at stake"	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"'A Burning Hot Summer' failed to persuade me of any reason for its existence (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Eric Hynes Time Out	"There are subtler, more allusive films about stormy conflicts of the heart, but 'A Burning Hot Summer' wisely knows when and how to surgically slice directly to the bone (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Walter Addiego SFGATE	"While I have to acknowledge Garrel's skill, the film, which actually has its compelling moments, falls somewhat flat"	NEU
United States	Drew Hunt Chicago Reader	"Garrel's work is indebted to silent cinema style, but his recent films have shown a real flair for dialogue too"	POS
