A lazy late-summer weekend is disrupted by a shocking allegation when Delphine gets an anonymous call from her husband's colleague about an alleged affair with one of their adopted children. Before leaping to conclusions she decides to quietly observe her family for a shred of evidence; anything to subside her fear and erase doubt. After the truth presents itself in an unexpected, shocking manner, Delphine choses to look past the blame for a permanent solution. This boundary pushing debut feature by Kaveh Daneshmand paints an intimate portrait of an upper-class French family with sly black humor and sensuality aplenty.

None of these potentially intriguing avenues play out with much thought, diminishing the emotional effect of a tragedy that winds up seeming like an exercise in style.

"The narrative truth in 'Endless Summer Syndrome' lies in what goes unsaid and what's just outside the frame."

Daily Grindhouse

ENDLESS SUMMER SYNDROME is a fascinating effort in no small part because it challenges us to consider and confront our own responses to the situation at hand in ways that feel designed to make us uncomfortable beyond just what is playing out onscreen.

Blake Simons

The Film Stage

While perhaps a little too in-love with its own clever construction to explore its characters’ psyches to the fullest depth, Endless Summer Syndrome is a compellingly subversive concoction that dares raise uncomfortable questions with no easy answers.

Rated: B+

Elements of Madness

... philosophical concepts of parent-child relationships as the foundation from which to derive tension so as to drive the characters and audiences alike beyond their understood academic systems of thought toward a precipice from which there is no return.

Rated: 3/5

Sunshine State Cineplex

Director Kaveh Daneshmand creates a contentious setup and forces the audience to stare down the questions at his film's heart. It's an excellent debut, one which promises a bright future for Daneshmand as a writer and director.

Rated: 7/10
