Sun's Too Hot

About This Movie

So, 'Sun's Too Hot' is an interesting piece. Set in Jerusalem, it has this raw, gritty feel that really reflects the inner turmoil of its characters. Soli is searching for connection, which feels very human, and her relationship with Ameline is kind of central to the film's themes of intimacy and struggle. The pacing is deliberate, allowing those moments of vulnerability to breathe, but sometimes it feels a bit stretched. There’s a heavy atmosphere, almost palpable, reflecting environmental anxieties. The performances are solid, especially between the leads – they really bring depth to their characters. I find the practical effects used for the camp scenes really grounding, adding a layer of authenticity that complements the narrative well. Definitely, one to think about long after the credits roll.
