About The Sun Is Also a Star
Two young New Yorkers begin to fall in love over the course of a single day, as a series of potentially life-altering meetings loom over their heads - hers concerning her family’s deportation to Jamaica, and his concerning an education at Dartmouth.
Directed by Ry Russo-Young, The Sun Is Also a Star leans on a strong ensemble — Yara Shahidi, Charles Melton, Hill Harper — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about romance titles of 2019.
