Critic Reviews for Like Sunday, Like Rain

All Critics (18) | Top Critics (8) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (9)

Whaley has made a provocative, well-acted movie about infatuations that turn awkward, but he struggles with the ending.

March 27, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

John Hartl
Seattle Times
Whaley aims high for this sort of material, but his film, sweet as it is, gets a little too precocious.

March 26, 2015 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Jesse Hassenger
AV Club
Whaley nicely calibrates this wistful dramedy's emotional quotient, never allowing sentiment to turn into sap. He also smartly dials down Reggie's initial precociousness to reveal a kid who's deep, resourceful and strangely sensible.

Gary Goldstein
Los Angeles Times
It's a bittersweet story that thins out toward the end as it turns too obviously sentimental, but it's still a nicely etched tale of the intersection of two unrelated lives.

Neil Genzlinger
New York Times
Like Sunday, Like Rain is so out of tune that even late-breaking attempts at emotion can't strike a chord.

March 11, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Kate Erbland
The Dissolve
Unsurprising given its laughably affected title, Like Sunday, Like Rain boasts what may be the most insufferably precocious protagonist in cinema history.

March 10, 2015 | Full Review…

Nick Schager
Village Voice
The tear-inducing musical finale to this simple and intimate movie will touch you, even if it didn't get through to the tin-eared ratings board.

November 19, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Roger Moore
Movie Nation
Like Sunday, Like Rain avoids both sentimentality and melodrama, though some might feel that it does so at the expense of story.

M. Faust
The Public (Buffalo)
There's the ghost of a more interesting movie here.

August 21, 2017 | Full Review…

Kathy Fennessy
The Stranger (Seattle, WA)
The same listless scenes play over and over (park, restaurant, cello, etc.), with odd editing lurches between them.

November 12, 2015 | Full Review…

Brian Miller
Seattle Weekly
A tender and heartfelt drama about the friendship between a 20-something nanny and her brainy 12-year-old charge.

May 14, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
Spirituality & Practice
Gossip Girl royalty Meester does opposite side of the tracks raw and real here, when it comes to emotional domestic violence, economic class divisions and youth financial struggles today. But the incessant background music is this film's own worst enemy.
