REVIEWS
Three Summers charts the progressive chronology of a working-class rebellion, spearheaded by a charismatic domestic employee whose constant yet feigned state of happiness belies a great personal trauma.
Cineuropa
[Kogut] displays a keen eye for satirizing Brazil’s rigid class structures and how people like Madá try to find their own piece of the pie within them.
Hollywood Reporter
[Kogut]’s approach is methodical, her camera patient, as the cycle of life repeat and go on despite and environment of fragility and decline.
