Film Review: Who Loves the Sun

I certainly didn’t love it. That is an understatement. I want so much for Canadian film to succeed. This was just too bad to even contemplate. The scenery was beautiful and that is all it had going for it. Will comes to cottage country. He visits his old friend Daniel’s family at their cottage. It seems Will has not been seen for over five years. We never do find out why he decided to come back at this time and why did he come to the cottage? He is an author. We learn that his wife Maggie had had a little indiscretion with friend Daniel and had been discovered by Will. I suggest that would put any husband a little off. Will is being quiet and rude to his hosts. Frankly I would have asked him to leave. Daniel shows up also at the cottage. He also is an author. Will and Daniel have constant fights. What a coincidence. Maggie comes also to the cottage. Daniel tries to resurrect his relationship. Will has a difficult time trying to communicate with Maggie. Daniel’s parents also have their issues. They are not believable characters. It seems as if Mom also had an indiscretion and oops Daniel was the result. This is stretching our believability factor when we find out that Will’s father is really Daniel’s father as well. Isn’t it charming and nice that everyone seems to work things out. Forgiveness is wonderful but this film asks too much of our credibility... Too add to the distress of the viewer the acting is terrible. If you decide to go at least enjoy the scenery. There isn’t much else.
