Invited to a rest home to explore their sexual issues, three women spend their days and nights trying to tame their inner demons. Under the detached supervision of a German therapist and a considerate social worker, the group attempts to maintain a delicate balance. For the young Geisha, somber Léonie and unpredictable Eugénie, it's a chance to get away from the noise, to engage with the present, and think about the future.

3/4
That Kind of Summer never quite resolves into any one stance on its subjects, an equanimity thats to its credit. Go to Full Review Peter Debruge Variety 02/16/2022
Defiantly unconventional Canadian director Côté’s latest wants to bring sexy back to Quebecois cinema, but his languid portrait of three so-called hypersexuals is so hyper-respectful, it borders on boring. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide Screen International 02/15/2022
That Kind Of Summer is talky, shapeless and baggy; it takes a rather long time to leave its central characters touched, but essentially unchanged and, in some cases, not satisfyingly explored. Go to Full Review Stephanie Bunbury Deadline Hollywood Daily 09/19/2023
ote is a prankster at heart. Perhaps he didn’t want to tell us anything. Perhaps he just wanted to get some rude words up on screen. And why not? That Kind of Summer is certainly entertaining. It doesn’t need to be anything else. Go to Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry 01/28/2023
Côte’s film is an empathetic examination of the thorns of sexual desire. It slowly blunts the sharp ends but doesn’t do so before inflicting the realities onto the audience as a means of understanding his characters better. Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com 12/02/2022
3.5/5
Perturbing and disconcerting, almost intolerable in some of its scenes, I initially rejected Côté's story, but with the passage of time, it transformed into something much more interesting and admittedly, even fascinating. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews
