Critics, per Wikipedia
Berlinale director Tricia Tuttle calls this film "a hidden gem". IndieWire named it one of the "12 films we're excited about heading into the 76th Berlinale". Ben Rolph of Next Best Picture called Sunny Dancer "a film about joy, which Jaques translates effortlessly to the screen". He praised Ramsey for "once again proving what a talent they really are... nails both the humour and the emotion". Alex Billington of FirstShowing.net says Ramsey is "extraordinary in the lead role in this film – they handle the weight of it all just right," further describing them balancing "the complexity of the character as written, with the dynamic of the whole situation, the cliche angst of being a teen, and…

I was the only person in the cinema.

The story of how this film, shelved for years, became a box office hit and award winner is kinda fascinating

positive · AI labelView post →Just managed to catch Sunny Dancer at the cinema on its limited run. A film full of joy while also throwing some punches to the heart, one landing particularly hard. It's difficult to make a film about cancer that totally avoids being mawkish but George Jaques has balanced the emotions very well.
positive · AI labelView post →Sunny Dancer is such a wonderful movie - hard recommend if it’s on at a cinema nearby. George Jacques, the director, is still in his 20s, and if it’s anything to go by I think Gen Z have found their own Richard Curtis.

positive · AI labelView post →Indie movie SUNNY DANCER tries to pull off a rom-com at a summer camp for teens in cancer remission. It could be dark, reckless fun but it falls back on all the cliches even ending with a crappy talent show. Credit to JAMES BLUNT for being a good sport. All the actors deserve a better script.

neutral · AI labelView post →A bit like "Ivy" (Bella Ramsey) herself, I was full of trepidation when her parents (James Norton & Jessica Gunning) suggest she spends a month at a summer camp. I was fearing that Ben Platt and Noah Galvin were going to lead us all on some sort of well intentioned sacharin-fest peppered with cheesy songs. Thankfully, well it's not that kind of camp. It is run by the enthusiastic "Patrick" (Neil Patrick Harris) and is designed to offer some respite for young adults recovering from cancer. She…

positive · AI labelView post →I was very charmed by #SunnyDancer. As somebody who is maybe a bit wary of the inspirational illness story, I was won over by a wonderful cast and a sharp script. It suffers a bit from a clumsy late twist, but it walks a very fine line between wit and sincerity. Good stuff.
