Daniel's well-meaning mother (Wendy Crewson) and father (R.H.

Jennie Punter Globe and Mail 10/15/2021
3/4
A gentle, often funny chamber piece in which his wonderful cast works out family problems against the stunning backdrop of Canadian cottage country. Go to Full Review Diana Welch Austin Chronicle 10/15/2021
Bissonnette aptly captures a world where terse dinner conversation and early morning fishing trips replace true affection, while reminding us that families often pass down more consequential traits than just eye color. Go to Full Review Trevor Johnston Time Out 08/04/2007
There's a whiff of contrivance in the air, yet the delightfully sunny score by Mac McCaughan keeps the mood brightly attractive. Go to Full Review Sarah Keenlyside Georgia Straight 07/07/2010
Who Loves the Sun ought to stick around for a decent little run at the domestic box office due to its strong production values, storytelling, and acting. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 08/13/2009

07/02/2014 This movie made me so angry! A man cheats with his best friends wife and the man is resented for disappearing for 5 years. See more 05/03/2013 Don't expect much. Just let it unfold. If you try and figure it out, you'll ruin it. To enjoy it, you just have to let wash over you at its own pace. Great characters, a slowly unfolding story about confronting the past in a stunning wooded lake house in the great Canadian outdoors, with some fun revelations delivered really well, even laugh out loud well, more than once. Great for a mellow day, sipping some fine wine, and unwinding.. See more 06/06/2012 Même si le film m'a profondément ému à certains moments, j'ai la ferme impression qu'il ne fait que ressasser certaines étapes importantes du drame cinématographique. Certes, les personnages sont sacrément attachants, certes, l'histoire déchire le coeur, mais j'ai encore l'impression de revoir ces mille et une histoires d'amour que l'on revoit mille et une fois dans une vie. Par contre, j'ai comme l'impression que ce serait sacrément ton genre de film Mate, mais je peux me tromper... See more 08/31/2011 Congratulations, this movie is added to the VERY short list of films I've turned off. Best part is, I rented this for FREE at the Library, and yet I didn't need to waste another 45 minutes. Based on the cast and the premise it looked interesting, but the whole thing feels so forced, contrived, like it's trying soo hard to be an indie darling it forgets to actually be full of believability. One friend sleeps with the other's wife, the other disappears for 5 years, comes back, and they treat him like he's the one who acted poorly. then they're all together again, and the friend starts making out with the wife again, and when he gets mad, the wife punches him...??? WTF. Stupidity...too bad, as it was a nice cottage they were shooting it at, but we couldn't overlook how completely hard it was trying to be funny when it should have been serious, but serious when it was supposedly funny... Don't say I didn't warn you See more 01/30/2011 This was different but not bad....the ending was a nice curve ball. See more 01/18/2011 I didn't get this movie at all! Moreover, it was extremely boring and pointless. See more Read all reviews
