Sunlight Jr. Reviews

Movie Reviews

• writer/director Laurie Collyer ("Sherrybaby") has a keen eye for details: the nagging, insipid door chime whenever someone enters or exits Sunlight Jr.

  by Moira MacDonald [Seattle Times ]

• the realism is honorable, the acting is exemplary, and all do good work, but life among the unlucky and disenfranchised who exist without hope is not a subject that will put a glow in your heart or a smile on your face

  by Rex Reed [New York Observer ]

• Sunlight Jr. is what is often described as a slice-of-life drama, but this one is more of a tiny sliver, and it doesn't leave you with much to chew on

  by Rene Rodriguez [Miami Herald ]

• sadly, though, it falters under the weight of too much drama

  by Joe Neumaier [NY Daily News ]

• brought into sharp focus by intense lead performances from Naomi Watts and Matt Dillon
