Your Reviews

This is a great movie. At the end you've met people, you've experienced a mood and meditations on death without the sappy artificial plot twists and pushy score Hollywood forces on you. If you want... car chases and shallow insights that don't require any fresh thinking, you won't like this, but there are a lot of quiet effects, like when the housekeeper comes back and the one son who cares about the house which is being sold, gives her a glass vase. There's another scene where the two brothers quietly have a drink after a tense moment in the lawyer's office regarding the selling of the house. It's an understated demonstration of decent human behavior. Then the kicker at the end. What the adults allow as a last act before the house is turned over to the next family. Full Review

Summer Hours portrays the truth of what comes with the death of a parent and their meaningful possessions. What you thought would always be there comes to an end. What is truly valuable is what is... experienced and in our memories. Well done Full Review
