Summer with Monika Ratings & Reviews
Crooked Marquee
Sean Burns
Bergman was madly in love with Andersson at the time, and you can feel it in every frame.
ianthomasmalone.com
Ian Thomas Malone
Andersson rarely plays Monika for sympathy, but you can understand her claustrophobia toward her dreary monotony when juxtaposed against the ephemeral nature of summer.
Alternate Ending
Tim Brayton
Harriet Andersson's performance is a marvel, decidedly the best work by any actor in a Bergman film thus far.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Monika's piercing gaze, so full of defiance and inner turmoil, seems to dare the audience to judge her for her actions, while at the same time embodying a kind of tragically wasted youth.
Film Freak Central
Bryant Frazer
In the annals of Early Bergman, Summer with Monika is The Big One. The irony is that it's among the slightest of his works.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Bergman fans will discover that it's not a typical film of his, and is rather more realistic than his later films, and some would call it "minor." But by any standards, it's an excellent film, gorgeously made and emotionally powerful.
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
Bergman's key international breakthrough
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
A sensual elegy along the lines of Ovid's 'Amores' and very much a movie about photographing Harriet Andersson
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's one of Bergman's most natural, carnal and accessible films.
New York Press
Benjamin Sutton
A fully realized Bergman psychodrama, rather than an early model for his later work.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
More than 50 years after its first screening in America, Monika arrives in New York again to light up the screen, this time without a trace of impropriety.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Bergman's tale of heedless teenage love is a sort of neorealist Rebel Without a Cause -- except that sex is acknowledged and the outlaw is a girl.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
Bergman would be no more adept a pornographer than he would be at filming hip-hop, but his camera did stare at the human surface with an intentness unmatched since von Sternberg rhapsodized over Marlene Dietrich.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
His first film with Andersson shows a developing ability to probe the psychology of a rich, vital woman without losing his objectivity.
TV Guide
Thanks to international distributors sensationalizing its sexual frankness, this bittersweet drama of ill-fated first love helped establish Ingmar Bergman as a filmmaker.
