Ward’s terrific performance is a standout element in this unpolished but heartfelt drama.

Well intentioned – but it’s broad, and for me it does not really do justice to the seriousness of its euthanasia theme.

Even though it clocks in at a trim 90 minutes, Dix and Keogan take a lot on board for Sunlight.

With a plot that reads like a depressing tale about desperate people and the end of life, the story is infused with passion and exuberance.

Whilst this film may become a conversation starter surrounding assisted dying, Sunlight works in its own regard as a film that is enjoyable and heartwarming and does not operate merely as a vehicle for provoking contentious matters.
