33. The Sun Is Also A Star (2019)

The Sun is also a Star is a teen drama that is based on a novel by Nicola Yoon that is apparently pretty sick and cool in young adult circles.The film tells the story of Daniel and Natasha, two very pretty, very young adults who fall in love in New York over the space of one day. Daniel is a hopeful romantic that wants to be a poet but his Korean dad (who runs a haircare shop) is forcing him to be a doctor. Natasha thinks love is gross and silly. Natasha’s dream is to not be deported back to Jamaica with her family. Two unlikely people fall in love, despite everything working against them. A truly original tale. John Leguizamo plays Jeremy Martinez – an immigration case worker that also interviews potential doctors for Dartmouth university.  Hosted on Acast.
