What the Critics say | ||
24.com Graye Morkel The flick gave me more “Neflix-movie” than big screen blockbuster, which by no means is an insult. That said, The Sun is Also a Star can also be praised, for under the fluffy parts there are some moments of realism, where the movie touches on serious issues such as cultural identity, and immigration laws. | 10 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer The Sun Is Also a Star has a pair of easy-to-love leads, but tests the audience’s affection with a storyline that strains credulity past the breaking point. | 10 | |

ScreenIt Jim Judy Featuring winning performances, a good soundtrack, and some creative flashback moments explaining (via voice-over narration) family history and more, “The Sun is Also a Star” might not exactly be realistic, but it shines so brightly that you probably won’t care. | 13 | |
