	Author	Review
United States	Jonathan Holland The Hollywood Reporter	"It thus delivers few dramatic surprises, but its real skill is in delivering these effects in such a true and captivating manner"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"A delicate sleeper of a film that movingly looks at an orphaned six-year-old's loneliness and confusion without the usual dip into sentimentality. (...) Striking a careful balance between narrative and atmosphere"	POS
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"Authentic and memorable (...) The feature that results is as loving in appearance as it is in handling even the most painful of emotions and is finely, patiently timed throughout."	POS
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"'Summer 1993' is movingly understated and beautifully acted. The colors are muted and the style is naturalistic"	POS
United States	Joe Morgenstern The Wall Street Journal	"The film can be manipulative in its own right: I felt transfixed and put upon, in equal measure"	NEU
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"A heartwarming, honest story (...) Anchored by a pair of extraordinary child performances"	POS
United States	Clayton Dillard Slant	"The small miracle of this film is how its engine runs on its maker's desire to inhabit the rhythms of being a child who's reckoning with traumatic emotions that are only beginning to emerge (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
