Midnight Sun Review


Midnight Sun is an emotionally compelling romance story. This movie is about a 17 year old girl named Katie who is allergic to sunlight. One night she meets her childhood crush and must struggle to balance romance and her disease. Bella Thorne gives a great performance as Katie. Patrick Schwarzenegger gives a really good performance as Charlie, Katie’s love interest. Rob Riggle and Quinn Shephard both gave solid performances as Katie’s dad and best friend, respectively. Eric Kirsten’s script did a great job developing the characters and making us care about them. Scott Speer’s directing is competent but nothing more. At 91 minutes the story moves along at a quick pace. As for flaws, the movie was occasionally a bit too cheesy for me. Overall Midnight Sun was a shockingly good romance film with great characters.
7.5/10
