Refreshingly, Simón's take on the "summer that changed everything" movie is delicate and unsentimental, earning an emotional response simply by exploring how a child interprets loss from the child's perspective and at the child's pace.
Frida's gaze governs everything, taking you back to the mysteries, the insecurities - and the joys - of being six.
In its subtlety, richness and warmth it is entirely beguiling - complex and simple at the same time. It is also very moving.
Not since Boyhood has a film shown this much respect and understanding for what it's like to be a child.
It's a film entirely lacking in pomp, but there's a certain bravado in its delicate reservation. A tender and spare meditation on family unfurls in the stillness of a sleepy, sun-soaked Spanish summer.
In this semi-autobiographical period piece, Simón achieves the rare feat of faithfully recreating the mysterious consciousness of a child.
Featuring fantastic performances from its cast, sensitive and illuminating direction from director Carla Simon and an assuredly humanistic look on the mindset of a child, Summer 1993 is one of 2018's best films.
Rather, Summer 1993 is less family melodrama and more a love letter to childhood and to the parents who shape it.
Here, we get a nuanced and heartbreaking picture of a child displaced to her Aunt and Uncle. However, the film needs to have more insights to sustain itself.
Summer 1993 is a quiet, tender character study focused on its young protagonist, her youthful existence in a state of flux following the death of her mother.
Simón's loving replication of the past is anchored in a bevy of lush greens and warm tans, with the sounds of domestic and outdoor life coming through with a keen vitality.
In one form or another, we can all relate to some childhood experience shared by the film's two young protagonists. An ingenious portrait of family, heartbreak, and belonging.
