The Sun Is Also a Star is romantic drama based on the young adult novel of the same name. It stars Black-ish TV Show darling, Yara Shahidi and Charles Melton. When artist and romantic, Daniel, spots Natasha, a young woman with limited time on her side, he will stop at nothing to have her fall in love with him in a day.
At first glimpse of this plot it seemed really unrealistic, a bit stalker-ish and childish, but after giving this movie a chance, I found it to be quite engaging, mature and unpredictable.
I thought that the acting between Shahidi and Melton was wonderful. The interactions felt really genuine and because of the strong character development for these two, toward the end you really became quite invested in their story. The character development for the co-stars, on the other hand, could have dug deeper but overall I really liked the diversity of this cast. I also liked the surprise addition of John Leguizamo.
If you are looking for an inspiring, surprisingly relatable, tear-jerker this could be the one for you.
