Andrea Gronvall Chicago Reader [Deepak] Rauniyar gets the most out of the actors, a mix of pros and amateurs, and cinematographer Mark Ellam generates exhilarating images of this vertiginous corner of the world. Jan 29, 2018 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times ... speaks to [director Deepak] Rauniyar's narrative gifts regarding matters of his homeland. Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Serena Donadoni Village Voice Rauniyar and co-screenwriter David Barker deftly show how recent Nepalese history affects its most isolated citizens, and cinematographer Mark O'Fearghail's unobtrusive naturalism captures the region's punishing poverty and exquisite beauty. Sep 5, 2017 Full Review Tanner Tafelski Kinoscope ...has a no-frills aesthetic. Its plain look puts the center of attention on its characters, all of whom are not drawn, but sketched out as strictly functional in this kind of social, and de-centered drama unfolding among many players. Oct 30, 2019 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) White Sun is a beautifully shot film, with lush widescreen compositions that suggest the work of Terrence Malick. Rated: 3/4 Nov 16, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews
