Critics Consensus

Sierra Falconer's serene coming of age anthology feature debut packs in more sublime hits than overwrought misses.

Peter Debruge

Variety

"Sunfish” unspools like a low-key vacation, serving up slender vignettes more than proper ”stories.” That said, it’s much trickier for a new director to establish atmosphere and tone, and Falconer excels in that department.

David Ehrlich

IndieWire

A collection of wistfully effervescent vignettes that resists the usual highs and lows of its format by drawing a gentle power from the stillness of the water that runs through it.

Rated: B

The Hollywood Reporter

Once it’s over, you’ll resume your normal life to find not much has changed. For those 87 minutes, though, it’s just nice to get to drop in on its world.

Sunfish (& Other Stories on Green Lake) wraps us up in a 90-minute sense-memory when the long, lazy days were both easier and harder. Summer is over now and so is childhood, except in our dreams.

NYC Movie Guru

Harmless, but underwhelming, lethargic and forgettable.

Geek Vibes Nation

Sunfish evokes nostalgia in the purest sense. Even when the events on screen are not joyful, this film is always a joy to watch.

Rated: 9/10
