Raúl Silva Gómez's rating of the film Summer of Goliath
Raúl Silva Gómez

Una película que se siente verdaderamente viva y no un ensayo sobre el pasar del tiempo. El aspecto documental es aprovechado al máximo y ayuda a definir mejor a los personajes y situaciones. Sentí que la división entre lo ficticio y lo real crea una dimensión temática más interesante que en "Matar extraños". Es una película que se puede ver tanto como se puede oir, bravo. Lo mejor que he visto de Pereda, hombre.

Paolo Simeone's rating of the film Summer of Goliath

15 minutes spent on a woman writing a letter, then the same woman helps a guy memorize that letter, then that guy helps an old woman to memorize that letter. Really, those 15 minutes aren't my cup of tea. The rest is a group of unrelated dialogues and interviews. At least you don't get to know if there is a relation between everyone. Weird.

Murders & disappearances in Mexico, according to this faux docufiction, have so permeated the imaginary that those suspected behind the crimes have taken on biblical euphemism. What may be termed Pereda's puerile experimentalism leavens the feeling of trauma by the bereaved on one hand, & the aura of impunity the so-called Goliaths possess on the other. Summer, meanwhile, must imply the seasonal, the temporal.
