Review of Who Loves the Sun (2006) by Ashley T — 28 Dec 2007

This is a film that lovers of Canadian cinema can be proud of. It's well written, well acted, well shot. The plot is intriguing and highly personal. You can identify with the well-developed characters effortlessly and feel the emotion put into the film by those who made it. Also, unlike many Canadian films which fall either into the 'wannabe American' category or the 'Canadian cheddar' category (where a film's plot is so overtly Canadian that it becomes a cheesy gimmick), this film is a film any person from any country can identify with, but it doesn't feel the need to hide its Canadianness in shame. You see a flag twice in the film if you're looking for it, and you hear the father's accent if you're listening.

All said and done, this is a film I would recommend to others highly, and one that I would buy.
