Analysis:

Romances involving teenagers’ life-changing conditions seem to be filmed more these days. In the recent times, The Fault in Our Stars, Me and Earl, and The Dying Girl, and many such movies have taken the heart of the audience and glued them to their seats. All we have to see now is sick teens’ falling in love but that also seems to be working fine.

Star Performance:

The cast has done a brilliant job with their performances and has made an emotional connection with the audience. This heartwarming love story needs actors who can portray the love, the emotions and the rage of the teenagers as well as the good parent-daughter relationship. All this have been pulled off well by the cast.

What’s there?

1. The movie has many young fans.

2. It gives out a very meaningful message to its viewers.

3. Throughout the film, we learn that living in the moment is the most important way of living and people are the ones who make life worth living.

What’s not there?

1. The midnight sun isn’t perfect; it has some issues too.

2. The issues in the film are regarding its plot and can be deciphered only by families with teenagers.

Verdict:

On the whole, it is a contemporary romance flick and also sends a message of a relationship shared between a father and a daughter.
