The Sun's Gonna Shine Audience Reviews

SnoReptilePlenty Memorable, crazy movie
Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) This is a 10-minute movie by notable documentary director Les Blank from over 45 years ago. The music and narration comes from blues singer Lightnin Hopkins. And that says it already. There is music in here. There is narration in here. The are animal recordings, landscape recording and small town recordings. really lots of content for such a short film and sadly none of it is really elaborated on in detail. It's probably a good watch for fans of the artist featured in here, but for the rest I am not so sure. Also, nothing is really happening. It's not a bad watch if you are just exhausted after a long day of work and want to lean back and chill, but if you want to watch something exciting, there are many far better choices out there.
