Leave your thoughts about Sunlight Jr..
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenA bleak, well-acted social drama evoking the problems of the American working class. |
| Movie HabitRobert DenersteinShows american lives that the screen usually neglects |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNaomi Watts and Matt Dillon bring impressive emotional and physical heat to Sunlight Jr., director/screenwriter Laurie Collyer’s beautifully observed character study of an unmarried couple living on the economic margins. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyThough this is an emotionally driven movie, it never drifts into melodrama. Collyer is as pragmatic in her approach as her characters. But it is Dillon and Watts' nuanced portrayals that make "Sunlight's" darkness so appealing. |
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe actors are so good that you wish Collyer offered them a richer arc to play, rather than just a topic. |
| San Francisco ChronicleWalter AddiegoThe film is merciless in showing the obstacles faced by a down-and-out couple in strip-mall Florida, but there's a modicum of hope in the genuine love the characters share. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenDespite the intensity of their performances, Ms. Watts and Mr. Dillon are only fleetingly convincing as these desperate young Americans trying to maintain a foothold. |
| amNewYorkRobert LevinIt belongs to Naomi Watts, playing a woman who retains her dignity in spite of endless difficulties. It's work done between the lines, in the silent moments. |
| Newark Star-LedgerStephen WhittyUrine tests and evictions, drunken brawls and rare outbursts of tenderness and grace. Collyer takes it all in, with a clear eye and no judgment. |
| New York PostSara StewartIt’s slightly tough to get onboard with the regal Naomi Watts sporting badly sprayed hair and frosted lipstick; surely there are more flattering shades at the Walgreens? |
