Bruno V From the beginning to the end, Speak Sunlight brings joy to the movie screen. Both lead actors have amazing performances and navigate from drama to laughter in seconds. The beautiful photography from different parts of Spain are also a must see. Nevertheless the choice of a new actor for the roll of the young kid shows sensitivity Carol Polakoff has for her characters. It's a great adventure that it will warm your heart and soul. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/17/24 Full Review David F A heartwarming film that affirms our common humanity. You will not be disappointed! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/14/24 Full Review Nicholas S This film has the touch of a filmmaker who knows how to create catharsis in the audience. It reminded me of the mastery of Ang Lee in Brokeback Mountain and Aronofsky in The Whale. I watched the film enjoying it, and all of a sudden at the end I’m sobbing uncontrollably and left with that magical haunted feeling only certain films and filmmakers are able to achieve. I saw this film in a full theater and witnessed everyone around me also sobbing. This is a sweet charming film, but its overall effect is impressive and powerful. Bravo! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/10/24 Full Review Pier Andrea M It's common to have a movie you wish to watch as many times as you can because it makes you feel well, a sort of a "comfort movie". Well, I found mine: "Speak Sunlight" is my comfort movie, a movie made of good sentiments and of very good people. A movie that helps you making peace with the bad moments. A wonderful movie with a fantastic direction. A must-see.
