Dan Sullivan Film Comment Magazine Nov 5, 2013
Musty, sticky, hot, and taut with psychopathological tension, Amy Seimetz's feature-length directorial debut is, to put it mildly, a bad trip. Go to Full Review
Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Apr 25, 2013
5/5
Unspools like a Françoise Sagan novel: purposefully, enigmatically and with a raw emotional purity that makes its volatile central couple appear even more defenseless than they really are. Go to Full Review
John Hartl Seattle Times Apr 25, 2013
3.5/4
Writer-director Amy Seimetz's oddly sunny film noir is a classic tale of young lovers on the run, reminiscent in tone of the darkly comic moments in Terrence Malick's "Badlands." Go to Full Review
Tina Kakadelis Beyond the Cinerama Dome Jul 25, 2023
It’s impossible not to see Seimetz’s interpretation of Florida as a nightmare where everything the light touches is tinged with darkness. Go to Full Review

4/5
This is a movie that resolutely limits its focus to one small, grubby, all-too-mundane tragedy, but it sticks with you. And it certainly makes me excited to see [Amy] Seimetz's sophomore effort. Go to Full Review

Sheil and Audley are coming apart at the seams only to realize their characters shifted from being each other's string to becoming the scissors cutting them loose. Go to Full Review

Hagrid M Aug 21, 2018 This super low-cost production kept me interested at the beginning, while I was wondering what the hell was going on, but when the picture becomes clear, there is nothing really new or amazing about "Sun don't shine". Good performances and a raw approach save the movie, but it will be easy to forget. See more
