Welcome to the Film Pie! Brisbane based film critic Matt Toomey has reviewed thousands of movies since 1996. See what's out now, or browse the review archive.

Summer 1993 (out Aug 2) is a Spanish drama about a 6-year-old who loses her mother and struggles to fit in with her new family. There's an authenticity to the performances of the young actors but in trying to be an intriguing character study, the film doesn't quite get there. A touch slow. Grade: B-.
