None of it works, though, without Fanning’s performance making you believe that both of these guys would put up with Wendy’s indecisiveness while claiming she’s in love with both of them. Go to Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com Mar 15
What it lacks sometimes in dialogue, it makes up in character detail and even visuals. Go to Full Review Angie Han The Hollywood Reporter Mar 14
Swanberg’s loose approach to storytelling, in which he outlines a plot and then lets his cast improvise the lines, is perhaps the movie’s greatest asset. Go to Full Review Tessa Smith Popternative 4h
Reminds us that love is about being honest with yourself, even when that honesty hurts. The Sun Never Sets is a beautiful, messy, and deeply felt exploration of human connection. Go to Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider 10h
