Critic Reviews

  • Sid Smith, Chicago Tribune

    Summer Love is fraught with feverish moods, bold imagination and a devilishly complicated exploration of the genre's iconography. It is also maddeningly paced, often like watching paint dry, albeit paint that's the garish tones of buckets of blood.

  • , Los Angeles Times

    Uklanski distances himself from the material at every turn, until it's difficult to distinguish the ironist's wit from the cynic's smirk.

  • Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times

    Summer Love feels more like a haphazard assembly of loose-knit components, jumbled together with obvious affinity for all varieties of a distinctly American genre.

  • Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    This pierogi western disassembles the genre mechanics of the gunslinger movie and makes a Dada collage of its gears and springs.

  • Manohla Dargis, New York Times

    Summer Love has been called the first Polish western and the first Polish spaghetti western, though the truer description might be the first deconstructed art western.
