Michael Winterbottom's "beautifully raw, wonderfully acted Summer in Genoa sometimes observes when it could analyze, and the film draws a bit too much suspense from children in danger," writes Matt Pais in Chicago Tribune. "Yet many of those situations stem from the sense of drifting, numb and frozen, through life that no longer seems real after tragedy. Through guilt and sorrow you can feel the distance between these family members, and you know a movie like this is working when it holds you tight and nervous in every moment." Colin Firth and Hope Davis star.
