Critics Consensus

Midnight Sun is a typically manipulative and contrived teen romance that's unfortunately distinguished by its offensively inaccurate portrayal of a real-life disease.

The ending of Midnight Sun is more of an eyeroller than a tearjerker. This film will have a very particular audience, and you'll know if you're a member of it. If not, stay away.

Forced to act beside this handsome stick of furniture, Bela Thorne, who sings bland songs and delivers blander dialogue as Katy Price, comes across as the reincarnation of both Barbara Stanwyck and Judy Garland. She's grand. She'll survive.

A disappointing production which could have benefited from a better screenplay.

...a mostly forgettable drama that doesn’t contain much in the way of standout, engrossing elements...

This sweet-natured movie turns into something of an emotional vampire, sucking out the feels before casting your body aside.

Don't expect Patrick Schwarzenegger to exactly follow in his father's footsteps.

Soy fan de este tipo de romance de película, algo tópico que genere conciencia sobre una enfermedad que no conocía muy bien. Al no conocer la enfermedad me centre más en el romance que en particular me gustó.

Interesting proposal, but due to a lazy script, it became a film that neither stinks nor smells.

It's 2025 and I'm still hooked on this movie, never getting tired of it. In fact, every time I watch it, I'm moved to tears it's such a beautiful film.

I'm very sorry that this film wasn't a success, in my opinion it deserved it because it's extraordinary, I love Bella Thorne.

Teach the kid to swim before giving him a swimmer role. Patrick Schwarzenegger (or the stunt double maybe, I don’t know who but regardless) has the most horrific swimming form I have ever seen. If the character is supposed to be good at something , MAKE THE ACTOR A GOOD AT THAT THING or find a suitable stunt double. Also, bland plot, bland acting, did not enjoy the movie
