Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Majorthebys Charming and brutal

Casey Duggan It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny

Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.

jamalking15 Good actors and acting, but didn't feel they fit the parts they were playing. The story just didn't fit the characters. They look talented and smart but live like they are not. The alcoholic male lead has money for daily alcohol but begrudges his sober partner for going to doctor when bleeding. The director attempts to make a political statement about how he views the minimum wage life of the south, but just misses with the choice of actors and unbelievability of the story.

Gre da Vid I like Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon somewhat, but, this film does not portray, in the least, their acting ability. Really didn't like it.

Olivia Given the mixed reviews, I opted to watch this film to determine if it was worth it for myself. In short, it was a decent film (not outstanding but not tough to get through) however, it was slow moving. The complexity was lacking but then again, this was intentional to show the true nature of the life of poverty being portrayed. The chemistry between Naomi and Matt was pretty good and the story completely believable. You can't helped but be depressed the entire movie given there is really nothing positive that happens. If you are looking for a stimulating and dynamic movie to watch, do not opt for this one as you will become frustrated. This is a movie for someone interested in observing the reality of poverty of a young couple and the struggles they go through. Take it for what it is!

erika-moss-gordon Laurie Collyer's SUNLIGHT JR. is a quiet meditation on true love and deep struggle. Set against the backdrop of a gritty, urban America, Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon are Missy and Richie, a couple trying to make their way despite a world that will not give them a break. Brave performances and phenomenal chemistry between Watts and Dillon bring a level of tenderness to a relationship unfolding in a world that is anything but tender. Collyer (SHERRYBABY, NUYORICAN DREAM) delivers a potent story about love and how, in a life full of sometimes seemingly insurmountable obstacles, it is truly at the core of what really matters.
