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. Feb 6, 2025 Full Review 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 Jan 30, 2025 Full Review Angie Han 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. Jan 28, 2025 Full Review Dillon Gonzales 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 Aug 24, 2025 Full Review Alfred Castaneda Shade Studios A visually stunning coming-of-age feature that shows promise for [Sierra Falconer]. Jul 30, 2025 Full Review Paul Risker PopMatters Falconer perfectly threads together these stories and bookends them with characters coming and going. Mar 25, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
