The Sun Is Also a Star has a pair of easy-to-love leads, but tests the audience's affection with a storyline that strains credulity past the breaking point.

The sun, the moon, the stars and all sorts of cosmic gobbledygook are thrown into "The Sun is Also a Star," a love story that shows how difficult it is to manufacture fate on screen. May 17, 2019 | Rating: C+ | Full Review…

Although devoid of sophistication and overly dependent on contrivance, the frothy, fizzy giddiness of the love story may win over viewers who are predisposed to enjoy this sort of entertainment. May 17, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

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. May 17, 2019 | Full Review…

We are told again and again that both protagonists have urgent, life-shaping matters to attend to, but-as portrayed on screen-the stakes couldn't feel less consequential. Nor could the circumstances that keep throwing them together feel more contrived. May 16, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

The filmmakers have made somewhat hokey, unbelievable material into something thoughtful and artful. Sep 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The Sun Is Also a Star is undeniably saccharine and yet is not without its charms. It tries to explore aspects of modern racial conflict and cultural assimilation, but by keeping its focus on the romance, Star loses most of the power it possesses. Aug 20, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

Sure, Tracy Oliver's screenplay is simplistic and gee-whizz-earnest but so what, Ry Russo-Young directs with admirable skill and sensitivity. Aug 6, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

'What if I told you I could make you fall in love with me, scientifically?' Daniel proposes to a skeptical Natasha. As chat-up lines go, it's out there, but this is a story that isn't afraid of a leap of logic. Aug 6, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…
