When Crystal and Leo set out to traverse the Floridian highways, the cryptic reasons for their journey evade logic and scrutiny. All we are made privy to is the thrill and desolation of the road, the stunning poetic imagery that surrounds their natural setting, and a creeping ominous sensation of dread. It becomes more and more evident that this is no ordinary road trip – sinister pasts, despairing futures, and an increasingly menacing present are all that await them at their eventual destination.
Amy Seimetz, indie-film veteran, makes her directorial debut with this mercurial odyssey, which she describes as being influenced by DELIVERANCE, TWO-LANE BLACKTOP, and A WOMAN UNDER THE INFLUENCE. Yet, in spite of its precursors, SUN DON’T SHINE manages to be a singular vision of a relationship gauntlet, held aloft by its spellbinding cinematography and the brutal performances by its two leads. Unlike any other road movie, this fever dream is punctuated by bursts of violence that are bound to keep you guessing until the final twist. -Ben Creech
