Becca Gleason has created something wonderful and extremely relatable that reaches to the core of the memories of adolescence for many women and for that, I thank you.September 28, 2018
Though the film's screwball energy keeps things relatively sunny, neither Gleason nor King fail to take the central protagonist's emotions seriously.September 25, 2018
There's nothing terribly new under the sun about any of what transpires. But writer/director Gleason has crafted a film that manages to be simultaneously funny, touching and sensitive.October 03, 2018
...King's charismatic turn deserved much, much better material.November 02, 2018
Hilarious, touching, bittersweet, and unabashedly honest, Summer '03 is a breakout film for writer/director Becca Gleason.October 01, 2018
Audiences will be divided on some parts of the story, especially the romantic plot between Jamie and Luke, but for Gleason's talents alone as a storyteller and director, it's worth giving the film a shot.September 27, 2018
It never transcends its teen movie origins to become something more.October 25, 2018
What Summer '03 teaches its audience is that control is an illusion. Tying into the realism of the production is another lesson: not every interaction or human connection has to have a fairytale ending.October 01, 2018
Is this a black comedy à la Todd Solondz? Or a quirky teen drama with a dash of girl power? All in all, it's too glib, too zany, too half-hearted to be a solid example of either.September 27, 2018
Vacant in emotion and in cinematic perspective, the movie looks back 15 years but struggles to make an impression longer than 15 minutes.October 01, 2018
Warm, wise and wonderful. Funny, witty and heartfelt. Joey King gives the best performance of her career!September 27, 2018
Summer '03 is a solid feature debut whose missteps are forgivable because of the strength and intelligence of the main character.
