Critics Consensus

Although likely most satisfying for Grey Gardens fans, That Summer adds a slight yet entertaining addendum to its classic predecessor.

"That Summer" leaves me with Beale fatigue. It would seem to appeal to "Grey Gardens" completists only.

Rated: 1/4

Irish Times

At just 80 minutes, That Summer is probably one for enthusiasts only, but existing fans will find plenty to savour.

Rated: 3/5

Michael Brooke

Sight & Sound

Its value lies less in its resurrection of footage long thought vanished than in the way that it has been co-opted, with remarkably little overt editorial interference, into an essay on the impermanence, persistence and importance of memory.

The Upcoming

Viewers don't need to have seen Grey Gardens to appreciate this picture, but after seeing it they'll most likely want to spend more time with the Beales.

Rated: 4/5

Heavy as it may sound, That Summer is mostly a fun 80 minutes spent in the company of charming characters.

Third Coast Review

That Summer is more a well-edited curiosity than a fully realized documentary, but in this case, it works because the subjects are so captivating and bizarre.
