Critic Reviews
-
David Parkinson, Radio Times
Views of the Northumberland coast are sublime but, for all its sincerity, this is self-consciously arty and a little stultifying.
-
Leah Cross, Little White Lies
Crowe's references to relevant political circumstances are well executed and the approach is fresh.
-
Shaun Munro, What Culture
Difficult to criticise aesthetically or on the basis of its performances, Verity's Summer is nevertheless a promising but perplexing debut feature let down by a low narrative pulse that makes it difficult to care.
