Jason Di Rosso, MovieTime, ABC Radio National

If you can forgive its clumsy moments, the film exudes a considerable sensual power. Perhaps it's not enough, but it makes me look forward to Gray's next film. Full Review

Margaret Pomeranz, At the Movies (Australia)

The performances are nice but I don't think there's enough substance there in either of these people and I actually didn't believe the chemistry between them. Full Review

In the end it's the love story that counts and it's a beautifully acted and surprisingly touching relationship. Full Review

Summer Coda is disappointing, an under-nourished, spasmodically involving melodrama set largely amid the orange groves of Mildura in rural Victoria. Full Review

Jim Schembri, The Age (Australia)

Nice scenery, shame about the movie. Full Review

Summer Coda, handsomely shot by Greg de Marigny, is a mixture of emotional understatement and pastoral lushness: it looks handsome, but its pace drifts at times. Full Review

Glenn Dunks, Trespass

Summer Coda has a lot to recommend -- and a recommendation this review most surely is -- but its visual splendour can often be in service of a film that doesn't quite have enough to say. Full Review

FILMINK (Australia)

Yet another of those sweet, charming Australian films that will probably vanish quickly from cinemas and be seen by only a handful of film goers. The story is appealing but somewhat predictable, and i... Full Review
