Distractingly lovely to look at, the film can't make Sangaile's struggles or triumphs matter.

Dreamy and delicate, trite and oh so earnest, "The Summer of Sangaile" presents a soft-core frolic in teenage Sapphic bliss with the solemnity of a world-shattering event.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

"Thanks for being you," Sangaile says to Auste at one point. It's a simple statement, maybe a little sentimental, but in this tale of young love, it works.
Abbey Bender, Village Voice

Awash with ripe, voluptuous summertime imagery and brimming with aborning adolescent female sexuality, The Summer of Sangaile is an appealingly simple, poetically conceived teen coming-of-age tale.
Todd McCarthy, Hollywood Reporter

There's something cold about Sangaile.
