Sunset Song Reviews
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
Like Davies' best work, the movie employs classical rigor - perfectly symmetrical, painterly landscapes and interiors - with unexpected postmodern touches.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"Sunset Song" is not without flaws, but it's an art film of uncommon beauty.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
Has its moments of grace, but too often resorts to conventions and a tone of high lugubriousness.
San Francisco Chronicle
Steve Rubenstein
It's an absorbing, finely composed, fretful film. But when it's over, there is as much relief for the filmgoer as appreciation for the filmmaker's art.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Davies tries things nobody else would try. Here that means allowing the choral passages - scenes in which individual characters and groups of characters express their feelings in popular ballads or folk songs - plenty of room.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
It blooms with moments of astonishing beauty: a yellow frenzy of springtime trees; a still room where the light slants in the window like a reaching hand; a desolate landscape, impossibly green.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
In short, the movie feels, if not exactly glamorous, then simultaneously overly processed and overwrought, even when it's wallowing in the most abased behavior.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Davies' quiet, painterly film largely eschews musical cues that would heighten its emotional impact, but as it is, "Sunset Song" is captivating in its sincerity.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Davies gives the book's - and its heroine's - sense of the agony and the ecstasy of growing up a gloriously personal touch.
Entertainment Weekly
Joe McGovern
The film takes a false turn in its final act, but there is a certain melancholy enchantment in Davies' golden-hued countryside.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
Sunset Song is not one of Davies' most expressive or artistically successful films, but I'm very glad for the opportunity to have made the acquaintance of Chris Guthrie.
The Blue Lenses
Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Based on the first book in Lewis Grassic Gibbon's A Scots Quair trilogy, British cinema luminary Terence Davies's Sunset Song takes the beloved Scottish classic and bestows it with his own distinctive creative signature.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
Even when working from source material crafted by others, Davies, like all singular filmmakers, imprints it with his DNA.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
"Sunset Song" ... falls short of the intended cumulative effect, its emotional power undercut by its studied, episodic unfolding.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Every rustling leaf and rustling cornstalk, every drop of rain pounding on stone, every tear of tissue paper, is lovingly drawn out.
Slant Magazine
James Lattimer
Terence Davies's sheer talent for creating sensuous images conveniently masks how little of this feeling actually emerges from the plot these images illustrate.
Detroit News
Tom Long
A tale of hardship and perseverance, "Sunset Song" is both visually lush and classically carved, if occasionally overwrought.
RogerEbert.com
Matt Zoller Seitz
The ethereal nature of human relationships (and humans, period) gives the entire movie a stoic quality: we do the best with what we have, and try to be thankful to be alive, and take pleasure in moments ...
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Stultifying in spots, the period drama Sunset Song marks an unexpected misstep for Terence Davies, the eccentric filmmaker whose movies evoke limbo states of memory and repressed feeling using a very British vocabulary of drab spaces.
indieWire
David Ehrlich
Davies has described Gibbon's novel as 'a story which deserves to be told.' Now it is a film that demands to be seen.
