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.

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.

Definitely more of a mood than a story. See more Zachary S @Zach154 3 days ago 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 Jarrin R 5 days ago This was a very different kind of romantic comedy. I think it speaks to the days that were are currently living in when relationships all look different. Dakota does a great job balancing the emotions that this situation would put someone in. Beautiful setting in Alaska was nice to took at as well. Overall good movie. See more Dovid C @DaveCob613 6 days ago It's not an outstanding film, but it lives up to what it's trying to be. Which is a story that some will enjoy and others will be bored by. Personally, I found myself getting pulled into a whirlwind of complex relationships. And there's a lot to chew on, psychologically speaking. See more Read all reviews
