A Sun Ratings & Reviews
Next Best Picture
Dan Bayer
The family drama's subtlety and care don't mesh well with the crime drama, which feels underbaked. The lack of energy in the even-handed direction doesn't help, either. The family drama does work... thanks to the strong performances of the cast.
But Why Tho? A Geek Community
Carolyn Hinds
A Sun is beautifully shot and crafted, but it's the performances especially those by Wu and Chen, that keep it grounded.
Always Good Movies
Filipe Freitas
This is a tale of tragedy, reconciliation and crime punctuated with effective comedic touches, becoming an exposé of parental fault, disintegration and collapse.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Anna Smith
A Sun is a bold, involving tale of crime, punishment, tragedy and healing -- all within a seemingly ordinary family of four in Taiwan.
Awards Daily
Frank J. Avella
Grand yet intimate, the film is beautiful and brutal. It's also excellent storytelling.
The Hollywood Reporter
Deborah Young
An engrossing stunner.
The MacGuffin
Allen Almachar
A Sun radiates with emotional power, telling an intimate story while avoiding all the traps that could have sunk it into cheap melodrama.
Film Inquiry
Kevin L. Lee
Chung takes heavy, economic, social, and intimate struggles of one middle-class family and trusts the audience to find something relatable and universal in their story.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Powerful, mature family drama with violence, swearing.
Decider
John Serba
As earnest and thoughtful as A Sun can be, its sheer length has us parsing the differences between languishing and lingering.
Cinema Escapist
Anthony Kao
A Sun crafts an intricate, character-driven drama that's compelling enough to entertain audiences throughout its two and a half hour runtime.
Variety
Peter Debruge
As wrenching and resonant a cinematic experience as can be found in any country this year...
