Reseñas de la crítica

Picnic is four decades behind and 6,000 miles away from the drama of Only Yesterday, but the bittersweetness of the summer months beats hard and fast within their respective cores.

Can a film be flawed and 'dated' but still have a perfect ending? Picnic suggests the answer is yes. It's instructive to consider Picnic's flaws in terms of unresolved tensions in the film's style.
