Movie Digest
Falling under the lively genres of comedy, drama, and friendship, the movie Sunny Sisters is a must-watch if you want to dive into reminiscing about your prime of life – teenage years. The story revolves around seven female people who befriended each other and formed “Sunny Sisters”. Everything seems limitless in the high school years, the world becoming everyone’s oyster. These seven people stay strong together and dream of a joyful future with a head full of spirits. Released on the 11th of June 2021, it is a remake of a Korean movie called Sunny (2011).
The Feel Good Part
Directed by Bao Bei Er, the movie artfully explores the dynamics of a female friendship that is quite rare to witness in any film. It shed light on the everyday struggles of an adult, helping us realise that the years we spent in high school are precious after all. Moreover, the plot is female-centred, making it quite refreshing for an avid drama consumer. If you feel more invested in a movie by gauging its soundtrack, then we recommend tuning into this masterpiece 很高兴认识你 (Nice To Meet You)by Twins. The song exudes the gentleness of youthful days, injecting hope into our present harsh circumstances.
The Disappointing Factor
Although a plain factor, fans wish they received a sixteen-episode long drama on the characters and their lives instead of a two-hour-long movie.
