Stephen Saito Moveable Fest In "My Summer with Irene," the experiences that may seem the most fleeting can also be the longest lasting. Feb 26, 2024 Full Review Elena Lazic Cineuropa My Summer with Irène [is] an ultimately rather conventional coming-of-age film relying more on character tropes than it initially appears to. Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Alexa Dalby Dog and Wolf The cinematography is glorious: the clear, sparkling sea the girls luxuriate in, the warm rocks they bask on and the dappling sunlight on the hidden ruins they find. Rated: 4/5 Feb 22, 2024 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com A slice-of-life drama which doesn’t ever feel alive. Rated: 2/5 Feb 21, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
