Synopsis

Sun Don’t Shine is a subtly cryptic story driven by the powerful performances of its lead actors and its eerily poetic setting. The film follows Crystal (Kate Lyn Sheil) and her boyfriend Leo (Kentucker Audley) on a tense and mysterious road trip through the desolate yet hauntingly beautiful landscape of central Florida. As the couple travels up the Gulf Coast the disturbing details of their excursion gradually begin to emerge, revealing Crystal’s sinister past and the couple’s troubling future. –SXSW

An atmospheric road trip through central Florida and another hymn to the deviations of the human mind. Review and rating: http://alwayswatchgoodmovies.blogspot.com/2013/05/sun-dont-shine-2012.html

Quite a good road movie, mysterious yet familiar, with voice-over sections that put Malick to shame.

Is it fair to say it's Badlands meets The Little Mermaid? Each stretch of highway is a another hypnotic mile that digs Crystal and Leo further into the situation. This one will get to you. Lots of pain and sadness mixed with childhood nostalgia and a bit of humor.

By Ignatiy Vishnevetsky on June 10, 2012

An occluded little world of scuzz, sweat, and suspicion.
