Midnight Sun Reviews
It's 2025 and I'm still hooked on this movie, never getting tired of it. In fact, every time I watch it, I'm moved to tears it's such a beautiful film.
I'm very sorry that this film wasn't a success, in my opinion it deserved it because it's extraordinary, I love Bella Thorne.
Teach the kid to swim before giving him a swimmer role. Patrick Schwarzenegger (or the stunt double maybe, I don’t know who but regardless) has the most horrific swimming form I have ever seen. If the character is supposed to be good at something , MAKE THE ACTOR A GOOD AT THAT THING or find a suitable stunt double. Also, bland plot, bland acting, did not enjoy the movie
read before watching !!! my friend burgeigh and i watched this and hated it!!! no plot, boring, and no warning for sexual contact. i had my little one in the room and she is now scared for LIFE. this movie is absolutely nothing like the trailer and is a complete scam of a romcom!
Midnight Sun is a heartfelt and emotional film that beautifully captures the complexities of love and life. One of the highlights is the strong connection between the two main characters, Katie and Charlie. Their chemistry feels authentic, and you can truly feel the bond that forms between them as they navigate the challenges they face together. The love story is tender, filled with moments of joy, hope, and deep emotion. The film masterfully balances the happy and sad aspects of life. While Katie’s rare condition brings a sense of sorrow, the story is filled with uplifting moments of joy and love, showing that even in the face of adversity, life can still be beautiful. The blend of these emotions makes the film feel real and relatable, offering a reminder that life is made up of both joy and hardship. Overall, Midnight Sun is a touching story that emphasizes the power of love, the beauty of life’s fleeting moments, and the importance of embracing both the happiness and sadness life brings. ❤️
I really liked the premise of the film. Bella Thorne's character has some sort of illness disease where she can't go out into the sun or she will die later. Her crush on the boy character seems completely real so that was cool. The boy character she likes gave a good performance I thought. Bella Thorne's performance is one of the best she's ever given and she should stick to more roles that have some innocence and more vulnerable qualities, like this one. She comes off as very likable. The acting performance of her father however was very unsatisfying because the actor seems to me as if he might have some rooted comedic background so his dramatic acting seemed overplayed, forced and unrealistic. I didn't buy that he was her father and that was central to the storyline. He doesn't play off Bella Thorne very well and he's in general pretty annoying in my opinion. The love story had so much potential to it because of it's many different unique circumstances but the film is so overly melodramatic that it can't be enjoyable and really doesn't have anything exciting about it. I didn't like the nature of the script writing that led to the conclusion. It's quite a predictable and unsatisfying ending. There was a nice song that Bella Thorne performed at one point though that makes it a nice scene. Overall you wouldn't be missing much if you decide to skip this one. Only watch if you want to see Bella Thorne in a much more likable, early role.
Honestly, this movie seemed like a watered down version of five feet apart. I mean, they got their point down and everything but it just was weirdly executed. Like if she doesn't go in the sun, shouldn't she by pale...? On the contrary, Bella and Patrick did really good with what they were given in making a cute little romance movie. Would I recommend it to you: No. Not unless you're bored and have nothing else to do.
Sentimentalist and with caricatured characters.
I mean, it's sweet - but you know what's gonna happen. Thorne is allergic to the sun and can only date Charlie at night. The truth comes out - she sings some pretty bad songs, and she dies while they're in love.
While film form is a way to escape from reality's rough cuts, that's not under absolution when there's always an aspectual representation either reminding us of or insightfully generating awareness over a lesser-known topic. Even if that topic was embellished with distance from its accurate core the existential extent still spread awareness and strike upon our curiosities to briefly research then finally truly acknowledged the fact. "Midnight Sun" almost functions like a troubled health film, namely "Philadelphia" as a memorable staple, and even if it turned out merely a teenage product whilst levels seriously, it generally spreads awareness over its starring depicted illness with debatable respect regarding its inaccuracy. Xeroderma pigmentosum, or XP for short, is a condition where the diagnosed cannot be exposed to direct sunlight. Katie Price (Bella Thorne) got robbed of her childhood when she received that life-threatening sensitivity. Her world only opens at night, venturing out to play her guitar for travelers at the nearby train station. One of those nights has a run-in with Charlie (Patrick Schwarzenegger), a boy she secretly admires for years from her window whenever he passes by. As they finally meet and romantically connect, Katie wants him to think she has a normal life, hiding her illness. But how long, and safe, can their relationship last, mortally for her? This romantic drama is actually a Western remake to the 2006 Japanese film "A Song to the Sun". The original story is approximately 30 minutes longer, which allows a little more exploration over its topic, but faithfully adapted the tested romantic focus over the actual informational core that was decidedly neglected to worth elaborate on. To an extent an acknowledgement at least spreads awareness through a brief discourse that we can carry afterwards. Though not medically well represented nor accurately informed as director Scott Speers, at his mainstream peak with dramatic weight, remained within his usual time frame rather than fully enveloping the story's proper treatment. He just treats it like a fatal weakness with a slight trigger towards a final countdown just to define the easy stakes for emotional weight. Brief research contrasts the depiction as it's not exactly fatal, but it does lead to more effects once the skin gets exposed to the sunlight. But considering how much of a teenage product this is, what expectations are there that the target audience will fact check if they pass it like an emotionally frontal picture? Speer's better edge is the trope of life as the film suggests alternative optimism to live the best of things albeit the inherited circumstances. As a subject matter, it's a prominent fuel that defines narrative veins. But the story's true manifestation is the cast as a more apparent front lines to spectators than the storyteller carving the final product's vision that's presented to us. Despite the slight misinformation, the stakes are grasped, and the story still resonates as we empathetically share the fear while also sympathize with their struggles. The showcase with occasional gravity enables feels, and therefore bolster the film to acceptable average heights, consisting of a nice cast as well-made humor got pieced by minimal establishments and the meaningful heart accumulated expressively. Most of them are frankly stocks till particular couple transcend dimensionally above and join the most suffering character that is Rob Riggle's character Jack Price, a widowed father hanging on to diminishing hope and trying to raise his daughter in a restrained childhood the best he could but couldn't provide much due to unfair circumstances. Riggle performed in a rare dramatic form in which he nailed all that weight his fatherly character had been holding on to. Bella Thorne is mainly driven by her definitively recognized charisma, till she took a serious turn in the second half with realized conviction. Patrick Schwarzenegger delivers a more relatable approach with an honest angle under general application separated from the affecting matter. "Midnight Sun" favors more as a star vehicle with the performances delivering emotional resonance amidst the inaccurate misinformation regarding the illness, though still respectfully provoked our thoughts' awareness. Clearly it would've been a better film if it was more accurate and inclusively considerate across realistic closures, therefore dramatizing the story on how we could approach someone with this illness or any. Unsure whether or not it would improve its original source, depends how they tackled the issue. Regardless, the film managed to be enjoyable, just don't associate it under pure medical alignment due to the embellished fact. (B)
Okay really obsessed with this movie, I think I am going to be watching this movie many more times it's just beautiful, I have no idea why this movie is just sticking with me, maybe because it is a beautiful movie or I just really enjoyed watching it. This movie is one of those movies that you watch and it sticks around in your head for a little while longer, for example I watched five feet apart and that movie was stuck in my head for a good couple of weeks, why?
Better Than I Expected As a frequent movie goer, this was just about my only choice today since I've seen the other movies that are playing now. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I expected it to cater to teenagers, which is mostly did, but as a person in my 70s, I enjoyed it too. It does tug at the heartstrings, which I find manipulative, but it wasn't too hard to hold back the tears. The acting is very good except for Schwarzenegger, who is just OK as an actor, but his being so easy on the eyes makes up for it. The plot is predictable; anyone can pretty much guess correctly what's going to happen along the way, but for a romance-type movie, that's just what they do. And there are some plot holes, like Katie knowing how to swim when she's never been in the sun and her house doesn't have a swimming pool, and her attending a swim meet to watch Charlie swim but no explanation as to how she got from her house safely to the car and from the car safely to the swim arena. She had on a hoodie, but if that's all it takes, she could go out more often during the day instead of having been cooped up in her house during the day for all of her life. And if exposure to the sun for one day is deadly, how did she get home from the hospital when she was born before they knew she had this disorder. None the less, it's a good enough movie - just a little sappy - but I think the kids will love it.
Oh so that was the infamous Bella Thorne I've been reading about lately. Didn't even realize Arnold Schwarzenegger son was in it either. I just read the synopsis and watched the movie on Netflix. This is another movie/tv series that critics gave a low score on but people that actually watched it disagree on. A movie critic is just a paid influencer. They either kiss ass to conform to current politically correct views or just plain bought out to influence people to watch or not watch something they were paid to influence you on. You can't trust a critic, but you can trust what the majority of actual viewers think about a movie but with a grain of salt because there are cases where you love a movie that everyone else loves to hate but that doesn't happen very often. This movie I thought was good and I felt something, I think they are called emotions, when I watched it and for me that was enough to be entertained while watching it and that's the point of movies is it not. This apparent hate for the movie from critics that say it's offensive because it doesn't portray the disease accurately, that could be said about every vampire movie twisting xeroderma pigmentosum into undead people that need to drink blood to live with the only similarities is that they burn with contact to sunlight. The critics seem to forget that this is a movie...a movie that is fictional...which means they can be liberal with what they write about. Look at twilight, they made vampires into sparkling glow sticks that can walk in the sunlight, no one really cared that much about the changes to traditional vampires, not sure why this is any different. 온라인카지노추천 and movies are literally littered with inaccuracies with real things but no one really cares as long as it is entertaining. All it takes is a writer who think they knows what they are writing about but doesn't really and that happens a lot. Just enjoy this movie for what it is and not dwell on how accurate it really is, it's not a documentary.
i enjoyed it. i love bella thorne! this whole movie is great and it makes you laugh and it makes you cry. i highly recommend it!
You cannot convince me these Rotten Tomatoes reviewers have a clue what the hell they are talking about. Their reviews are jaded, misconstrued and just utter garbage. This movie was superb. Emotional, funny, dramatic, a great story line, musical, and it inspired. Just a truly incredible piece of work. It will make you laugh, make you cry, and it is one of the best movies I've seen this year. I would highly highly recommend it.
i thought this was kind of cute, actually. not normally a Bella Thorn fan but i think she played her part well. i think we can all agree that Rob Riggle was the favorite by far, though.
As most/some of you people don't know, this is actually this is the remake of A Song to the Sun (an underrated and aJapanese original version). I haven't seen this so-called American version and I don't plan to. The Japanese version is better if you're more into foreign movies/version. Yes, I know there a lot of remake/adaptations movies of the Asian movies too but A Song of the Sun movie is hard to find sometimes unless you're living in Japan or got it on Amazon, but watch that version if you like and if you can. I saw it on YouTube years ago. I wouldn't give this American version any rating at all.
