jesse v Sep 4, 2026 Who knew that writing characters as completely grounded as a telephone pole makes a movie enjoyable? Though no particular reason was given why the husband pushed for his wife's self-exploration journey, and where the kids went after the beginning. Also all shots were consistently spatially placed and well edited. This movie spells out a lot of nuance that your average american woman bookreader obsessed with tiktok would scream frantically. I wished there was more communication through phones and more scenes to show how time progressed. There is a thin power dynamic blackmailing theme borrowed from obsession. One of very FEW movies recently to use no CGI whatsoever. I would have loved more of Lindsey since she's technically the third party here. And of course, the main relationship is never dissolved. oh well, humans are fickle. Many alaskan references here, where some could have been taken out, like the boat.

Aside from the sound being way too loud at my cinema, this was wonderfully realistic with some great comedy and acting. I've never enjoyed Dakota Fanning -- especially as a child in Hollywood films -- but also just found her okay as an adult; she's fantastic here and excellently subtle. The rest of the cast is great, too. It's a shame it's not doing well over here, but I'm glad I got a chance to see it and pay for it. See more Robert S @Ohahhoh 2 days ago I enjoyed this movie. In fact, I loved this movie after about 20 minutes into it.. It was very realistic about what goes on with some relationships. Great dialogue and some witty conversations. This movie isn’t getting much attention. Believe it or not. I was a sole person in the theater. I told my wife about it and we plan to see it together. (So I’ll be seeing it a second time). I urge you to give this movie a shot. See more tim L @RT55419099 6 days ago The characters' dialogue was so realistic I almost felt as if I were invading their privacy as I listened. And yet, the plot was so gripping and the characters so passionate that I hung on every word. I expected to be disappointed if not bored when I hear d the plot outline, but enjoyed this movie so much I hated to see it end. See more Janelle L @eloracoffee Sep 10, 2026 Beautifully shot, but very slow. I appreciated what it was trying to do, yet I never became as emotionally invested as I wanted to. Definitely more of a mood than a story. See more Zachary S @Zach154 Sep 10, 2026 The Sun Never Sets offers a grounded and realistic look at the complicated yet powerful emotions that come with love, relationships, and the uncertainty of moving forward. We follow Wendy (Dakota Fanning) as she navigates the increasingly messy relationship between her and Jake, her older, divorced boyfriend with two children, who encourages her to take a step back and reconsider what she wants from her life. Things become even more volatile when her ex, Chuck, re-enters the picture, creating an emotionally charged love triangle. Joe Swanberg directs with a refreshing sense of maturity, allowing the characters’ choices to feel frustrating at times while remaining painfully believable. At the center of it all is Dakota Fanning, who delivers a subtle, nuanced performance that captures Wendy’s uncertainty and emotional vulnerability without ever overplaying it. It’s a small scale relationship drama that finds its strength in how honest and recognizable its messy emotions feel. See more Read all reviews
