V.A. Musetto New York Post Rated: 2/4 Aug 22, 2007 Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times Summer in Berlin is a pointedly unglamorous slice of life that could be set in any urban neighborhood where real estate prices haven't gone through the roof. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 2, 2007 Full Review Joshua Rothkopf Time Out For a film set during a sweltering season, precious little dramatic heat is brought to bear. Rated: 3/6 Mar 31, 2007 Full Review David Lamble Bay Area Reporter Summer avoids making its female protagonists too cute, shrewish or erotically challenged to be believable or bearable for two hours of cinematic comfort food. May 21, 2020 Full Review Jay Antani Boxoffice Magazine At once natural and designed, funny and sad, Dresen's story approximates the capriciousness of life itself, and that may be the highest praise any work of art could ask for. Rated: 4/5 Apr 8, 2007 Full Review Jules Brenner Cinema Signals What we seem to have in Andreas Schmidt is a Buster Keaton/Marty Feldman in Teutonic skin. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 8, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews
