Midnight Sun's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
"'Midnight Sun' does an effective job of tugging at vulnerable teenage hearts, while managing to provide a few laughs along the way. None of the film rings remotely true, especially the cornball conclusion, but the two young leads are so darn attractive and appealing that one can't help being caught up in their characters' poignant romance".
The Wrap
"Mawkish, bland and banal, this dreary love story ? and it?s no ?Love Story? ? seems to think it can throw together dying girl and handsome prince, and that?s all there is to it".
Variety
"The trouble isn?t just that Midnight Sun cherry-picks the most poetic elements of a real-world disease to serve its transparently manipulative ends, but that it offers audiences such an unrealistic portrait of romance in the process".
New York Times
"Under the limp direction of Scott Speer, 'Midnight Sun' suffocates its sentimental script, portraying passion without wonder, sacrifice without ecstasy".
