Movie Reviews of Sunshine

Movie Review: A 'Classic' for Our Time
Summary: 5 Stars

This film, in my opinion, should be one that would be categorized as 'One of The Classics'. Everyone should watch this and learn about tolerance and it's relevance to life and to every past generation and all future generations.

This is absolutely riveting, heartbreaking and in many places 'joyful'.

Buy this, rent it, but you MUST watch it.

Ralph Fiennes is Brilliant.

Other recommendations that are over-looked are 'Oscar & Lucinda', 'Onegin', 'The End of The Affair'. Again, RUN out to buy, rent but you MUST watch.

I personally own them all and purchased each of them from Amazon.com.

Movie Review: Sonnenschein.....
Summary: 5 Stars

Following three generations of a Jewish family in Hungary; Ralph Fiennes plays the central male role for all three generations.
One of the three male roles is based on the life of Hungarian Olympian Attila Petschauer. The other two characters portray the struggle of Jews living in an anti-Semitic society, their guilt of survival, and the development of political maturity following the Holocaust
Great movie that is worth watching over and over, despite all criticism. No wonder it won Genie award for best movie, best overall sound, European Film Awards for best actor, best Cinematographer and best screen writer.

Movie Review: A masterpiece of WWII storytelling
Summary: 5 Stars

If you were appalled by films such as Schindler's List, wait till you see this one. Many people consider WWII storytelling an exhausted topic, which is simply not true, as witnessed by the popularity of The Pianist and Adrien Brody's consequent though well deserved stardom.
"Sunshine" has all the elements of a great movie. A top of the line cast, to start with Ralph Fiennes whose performance is superb (in my opinion Fiennes' greatest masterpiece). You might be put off by the length of this movie, though the story carries itself very well. Simply told, it will move you.

Movie Review: Fascinating and underseen
Summary: 5 Stars

The Bottom Line:

Sunshine isn't perfect, but its story of 100 years in Hungarian history told through the eyes of a grandfather, father, and son (all played by Ralph Fiennes) is consistently compelling and replete with moments that linger in my brain; if you're a 20th century history buff with 3 hours on your hand, you could hardly do better than renting this underrated gem from Istvan Szabo.

3.5/4

Movie Review: sweeping saga
Summary: 5 Stars

I was totally blown away by this multi-generational saga. Yes, it was long, but the film needed the time to fully show the characters development and to weave the plot. I was impressed with Fiennes ability to play three distinct parts so well, although I was not surprised since he is such a talented actor. This movie is a much overlooked gem!
