Atom User Reviews for The Sun Is Also A Star
The book was great but this did not translate well on the screen. They changed some key scenes in my opinion. Also found the soundtrack lacking.
It was a good clean movie
I loved it. I don't normally watch romantic films but I wanted to support Nicola Yoon's second book turned to film. It was nice to see the guy so into the girl
Yara Shahidi carries this movie. Charles Melton(her co star) needed to up his game to that of yara but fell short. Also, why have 2 actors play Jamaican but have bad accents ( just cast Jamaicans instead)
A chill movie, easy to watch :)
I wish I would have waited to see it on Netflix so I could have turned it off ten mins into the movie!😒😒
It was an exquisite movie, critics would give it a people’s choice because it involves all emotion at the exact point and time
if you read the book...you might not quite like the movie version. it's a good movie just not a good book adaptation.
trailer was better, but still cute
I would definitely see it again! Yara Shahidi is such a great and beautiful actress and Charles Melton made you feel the love he was giving.
much better than expected.
Great Movie!
U have to good see it
Yara Shahidi!
exactly like the book, even though the god reference was taken out. the acting could have been better
New perspective on an important topic. I liked it.
Beautiful story that's so worth watching.
Why? This could have been SO much more! I was disappointed - even my teenager daughter and her friends were as well. And they usually live for the cliche over the top stuff.
It was good movie if you didn’t read the book! I read the book and I feel like they cut out small but key characters that made the story make sense? The soundtrack was good tho! Overall it’s a nice movie to go see.
It was a beautiful story.
Cute but not believable
phenomenal acting and a great story
It was such a beautiful and inspiring love story. It was refreshing and realistic ! I absolutely loved it
good movie. loved the girl's glimpse of the future and all the childhood memories and family history for both leads.
Don't see it if you have read the book.
I liked it! I wish it hadn’t departed from the books in some of the ways it did, but I really enjoyed it!! Will def be buying the DVD!
Wonderful love story
Yara did an amazing job, as did Charles. 💙
I did not read the book. But I could understand how the book would be better than the movie. Not a lot of movies based of books get it right. The story itself was very predictable but in all general what love story isn't? It is a good movie but I would not watch it again. What I really loved was the music.
it's was a bit slow in the beginning
Beautiful! Bring tissues!
Made me want to move to New York and find my Daniel! Lol traps great movie that put a smile on my face as I was leaving!!!
Loved it!
good date night movie. Good plot. but mediocre acting. Has a great soundtrack.
I didn’t like the ending I hope there is a part two to finish it off!
Metacritic
While time is likely on the side of its leads, their chemistry only goes so far in what feels, finally, like a half-baked movie.
The story and its trappings feel a little generic, the dialogue studiously bland and the characters and their problems curiously weightless, in spite of gestures in the direction of real-world issues.
Director Russo-Young, whose roots are in independent film, has brought a bit of a welcome indie sensibility to the proceedings.
