[Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3/5 Mar 9, 2023 Full Review Carlos Losilla Caimán Cuadernos de Cine An even more conservative film than those social models it tries to question. [Full review in Spanish] Nov 8, 2022 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Sonne is lively and often amusing, the girls are energetic and irrepressible, irreverent. May 22, 2022 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Although online controversy becomes the familiar catalyst pushing its lead character towards an epiphany, Ayub focuses on the intimacy of alienation in stark contrast to the usual formula administered in coming of age dramas. Rated: 3/5 Apr 4, 2022 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Avoiding cliches surrounding Middle Eastern youth in Europe, Sonne is a rich, multilayered study of teens torn between a confusing reality and an ill-defined virtual existence.
