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 Christian Zilko IndieWire Mar 14
A-
“The Sun Never Sets” is a masterful portrait of humanity’s inability to figure out what we actually want at any given time. Go to Full Review Alan French FandomWire 1d
5/10
While we wanted Joe Swanberg to return to the big screen with new ideas and concepts, he falls back into clichés about relationships. Dakota Johnson and Cory Michael Smith provide some new textures to the film, but the themes are too one-note. Go to Full Review Ryan McQuade AwardsWatch 4d
B
While it can feel a little repetitive, that seems to be the point as The Sun Never Sets is a darkly funny, emotionally matter a fact journey of that the love you need sometimes isn’t another person. Go to Full Review Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz 4d
8/10
Swanberg delivers something rich and insightful here about best laid plans and the things that really matter, and the missteps we all make on the road to happiness. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
