"What?"
"Look up."
This love letter to the city of New York and to romantics everywhere plays like a younger-targeted and very contemporary version of Linklater's Before... trilogy Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton are both charming and easily likable leads, and even though we are firmly in romantic fantasy territory here, they play their individual roles and the couple with very watchable appeal. The lack of of reality in the storylining is a given for the genre, but the eclectic mix of songs and music on the soundtrack adds freshness, and the cinematography brings a real vibrancy and beauty to its depiction of a romanticised New York. The Sun... is a cut above the standard young romance movies of late and very watchable indeed, and it will be interesting to see its two talented young stars in future roles.
