What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
Though Summer of Goliath has its share of grace notes and gorgeous shots, the anxiety of influence hangs heavy over every real-time interaction, every direct testimony, every re-creation (and re-re-creation) of allegedly true incidents.
The New York Times by Mike Hale
Carrying far more weight than their screen time would warrant, the "interviews" with actors playing young children are the best part of the film.
