REVIEWS : 

“With a plot that reads like a depressing tale about desperate people and the end oflife, the story is infused with passion and exuberance.” – Alan Zilberman, Washington City Paper

“Whilst this film may become a conversation starter surrounding assisted dying, Sunlight works in its own regard as a film that is enjoyable and heartwarming and does not operate merely as a vehicle for provoking contentious matters.” – Liam Hanlon, Film Ireland Magazine
