Summer 1993's reviews
Media reviews
El País
It is not a promising debut, but one of the most impressive Spanish films so far this year, very mature distillation of reminiscences of childhood assimilated through a virtuous representation.
El Mundo
The challenge is that the viewer rebuilds the film itself from the bewilderment, the rage, the astonishment and the weeping of Frida.
The Hollywood Reporter
'Verano 1993' pretty much follows the textbooks in terms of the psychological effects of events on its characters. It thus delivers few dramatic surprises, but its real skill is in delivering these effects in such a true and captivating manner.
Fotogramas
'Verano 1993' is an authentic prodigy of expressive fineness carried by a sensitivity so luminous as cruel that wins over and captures us, it shrinks our soul. It is a wonderful film.
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.
