Critics Consensus

Although likely most satisfying for Grey Gardens fans, That Summer adds a slight yet entertaining addendum to its classic predecessor.

"That Summer" leaves me with Beale fatigue. It would seem to appeal to "Grey Gardens" completists only. Go to Full Review Tara Brady Irish Times 06/08/2018

At just 80 minutes, That Summer is probably one for enthusiasts only, but existing fans will find plenty to savour. Go to Full Review Michael Brooke Sight & Sound 06/07/2018
Its value lies less in its resurrection of footage long thought vanished than in the way that it has been co-opted, with remarkably little overt editorial interference, into an essay on the impermanence, persistence and importance of memory. Go to Full Review Andrew Murray The Upcoming 02/02/2021

Viewers don't need to have seen Grey Gardens to appreciate this picture, but after seeing it they'll most likely want to spend more time with the Beales. Go to Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension 12/10/2020
Heavy as it may sound, That Summer is mostly a fun 80 minutes spent in the company of charming characters. Go to Full Review Steven Prokopy Third Coast Review 06/15/2020
That Summer is more a well-edited curiosity than a fully realized documentary, but in this case, it works because the subjects are so captivating and bizarre. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
