A heart-racing documentary portrait of Carl Boenish, the father of the BASE jumping movement, whose early passion for skydiving led him to ever more spectacular -and dangerous- feats of foot-launched human flight.
Leave your thoughts about Sunshine Superman.
| Movie MezzanineTomris Laffly...the existential angle of Boenish's story (as well as the unbeatable footage) elevates Sunshine Superman to a greater height. |
| CinemacyMorgan Rojas[Director] Marah Strauch captures here not only arresting visuals, she effortlessly sums up emotions, and extremely inspiring ones at that. |
| Toronto StarBruce DemaraEngrossing, tension-filled and utterly fascinating. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazetteKaren MartinThe unabashed freedom and high spirits of the film are almost overshadowed by the brutally sobering ending. |
| Blu-ray.comBrian OrndorfExpectations for a significant understanding of Carl's inner drive are never met, leaving "Sunshine Superman" more of a commercial for BASE jumping than a study of its slippery founder. |
| San Jose Mercury NewsKaren D'SouzaStrauch makes a compelling case for the exhilaration of living, and dying, on your own terms, a freedom so few of us ever truly experience. |
| New York PostKyle SmithThe exhilarating documentary Sunshine Superman, which melds gorgeous aerial photography of Boenish’s jumps with sublime musical cues, finds in Boenish a kind of poet-adventurer, equal parts pixie and desperado. |
| AV ClubBen KenigsbergIf Sunshine Superman doesn't exactly inspire comprehension of the desire to feel like you're "flashing through a 20-story building in one second," it is immersive enough to induce panic. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyIn the end, Jean Boenish is the real hero of Sunshine Superman. |
| DCistPat PaduaThrilling not just from its subject's charisma and death-defying feats, but from the inventive and terrifying process of filming a jump. |
