What better way to spend 97 minutes in November than trying to sort out romantic complications in shorts and sailboats?

Straight ahead in form but unnerving and unexpected in content.

Rated: 4/5

All I know is, I didn't buy it. It didn't scan. And I'm sorry it didn't, because Summer '04 offers much to admire and a few things to fear.

Rated: 2.5/4

NewsBlaze

More in the nature of audience eavesdropping on some scandalous neighbors than gripping or meaningful storytelling, the film is wracked with superficial, amoral characters and petty, hand wringing sordid emotional preoccupations and obsessions.

If Krohmer and Knocke meticulously crafted the world Miriam inhabits, it is Gedeck's presence that makes it such a tangible mess -- which is meant as high praise indeed.

TV Guide

The film unfolds with cold, Chabrolian detachment and quietly builds to a coolly satisfying denouement that leaves everyone involved -- including the audience -- second-guessing everything that's come before.

Rated: 3/4

The driveway doesn't quite reach the garage. Good intentions though...

Summer '04 is a weird little number with actors who are trying to have a good go of it but never get anywhere. There are affairs with few consequences. There are adorations of an underage girl..with few consequences or normal thought.

An odd one. Liked the european awkwardness. Don't like the plot so much.

Sommer '04 handles prickly subject matter with the lightness of a summer breeze.

Huh...this was far, far worse than expected. A psychological thriller? I suppose it was psychological in that none of the characters behaved like humans I have ever met and it was somewhat thrilling to predict the next idiotic move. It was only slightly more interesting than a bad American movie because it was German. Rare to see a film where all of the male characters are inane.
