Midnight Sun

Midnight Sun, follows teenager Katie Price who has a rare disease called XP which makes her stay out of the sun because being in the sun is fatal and can result in death. She stays looking out into the world from her window and one night meets her dream guy Charlie whom shes been watching since a young age. The film follows her journey through her first love, first parties, and the one life she has. The film is important as it follows a real life disease and also represents a teens curiousness and their eagerness they have to explore the world and how as teens we can feel trapped. Katie is a strong character who sacrifices a lot and goes through so many trials. I recommend you give this a film a try. My thoughts at first was that the film was cheesy and the story was just like the film Everything, Everything. Well news flash for me, the film is nothing like Everything, Everything and the story was good, the acting was good,the music was heartwarming, and had me in tears. I recommend the film no matter what your thoughts are on the film.

"I'm really busy during the day, but I can be free at night." -Katie Price, Midnight Sun

After having an emotional breakdown i came for the reviews and got really annoyed. Some people say it's cheesy, SO WHAT? Movies can't be cheesy anymore?! The movie was really great and I enjoyed it a lot but I think there are other actors who could've pulled this off better then Bella and Patrick Still a great movie tho, would definitely watch it again soon

Not really a fan of Bella Thorne but she was excellent in this, enjoyed the film very much. some beautifully sad moments. would recommend. Some harsh reviews from many but this film is worth your time

As a frequent movie goer, this was just about my only choice today since I've seen the other movies that are playing now. I was pleasantly surprised by this movie. I expected it to cater to teenagers, which is mostly did, but as a person in my 70s, I enjoyed it too. It does tug at the heartstrings, which I find manipulative, but it wasn't too hard to hold back the tears. The acting is very good except for Schwarzenegger, who is just OK as an actor, but his being so easy on the eyes makes up for it. The plot is predictable; anyone can pretty much guess correctly what's going to happen along the way, but for a romance-type movie, that's just what they do. And there are some plot holes, like Katie knowing how to swim when she's never been in the sun and her house doesn't have a swimming pool, and her attending a swim meet to watch Charlie swim but no explanation as to how she got from her house safely to the car and from the car safely to the swim arena. She had on a hoodie, but if that's all it takes, she could go out more often during the day instead of having been cooped up in her house during the day for all of her life. And if exposure to the sun for one day is deadly, how did she get home from the hospital when she was born before they knew she had this disorder. None the less, it's a good enough movie - just a little sappy - but I think the kids will love it.

This is a movie you watch on a Friday or Saturday night. It has a slow pace at first, and an unrealistically well adopted perpetual optimist as the main character. Did enjoy the movie and was surprised to find out it was based on a real desease. Overall, emotionally touching and pulls you in. I'm curious if she sang her own songs, because the music was well done. Overall, a good Saturday night movie, with milenial overtones.
