Critic Reviews of "The Long Hot Summer"
TIME MagazineOctober 01, 2008Newman's performance as Ben Quick, before the script blunts it, is as mean and keen as a cackle-edge scythe.
Time OutJune 24, 2006The ending is an unconvincing cop out, but it can't spoil the film's compulsive dramatic tension (or a marvellous comic cameo from Angela Lansbury as Welles' long-suffering mistress).
New York TimesMarch 25, 2006The Long, Hot Summer starts superbly and ends in a senseless, flabby heap.
EmanuelLevy.ComJune 02, 2011This small-town family melodrama, a quintessential 1950s film in its themes and tensions, is well acted by Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Lee Remick.
TV GuideJanuary 07, 2008Director Martin Ritt and writers Harriet Frank, Jr. and Irving Ravetch opted for a less-than-faithful adaptation of the author's work, and the results were excellent.
Apollo GuideMarch 01, 2004The conclusion is surprising and quite exciting, as this self-contained little southern world unravels.
Cinema em CenaSeptember 08, 2003O belo roteiro, escrito a partir de histórias de William Faulkner, ganha ainda mais dimensão graças às performances de Newman, Woodward e Welles - além, é claro, da direção segura de Martin Ritt e da ótima fotografia.
