Joe Swanberg, a key figure in the mumblecore movement known for films like LOL and Drinking Buddies, is back with a new feature, The Sun Never Sets, nearly a decade after Win It All. This film explores Wendy, a woman in Alaska yearning for marriage and kids, and her relationship with her boyfriend Jack, who is resistant to that future. Jack suggests she date others, leading her to face an unwanted love triangle with her ex, Chuck. The film balances realism and romance effectively, showcasing strong performances from Dakota Fanning and Jake Johnson, though it critiques some aspects of mumblecore’s style.
