Sunlight Jr.

Sunlight Jr. is an American 2013 drama movie starring Norman Reedus, Naomi Watts, Matt Dillon presented on DVD.

Where there's sunlight, there's hope.

Melissa and Richie live below the poverty line and surviving on Richie's monthly disability check and Melissa's small hourly wage from her job at a convenience store. Desperately poor but very much in love, they are ecstatic when they discover that Melissa is pregnant. But when the restraining order she placed on her obsessive ex-boyfriend, Justin, is lifted, her problems suddenly become magnified.

Directed by award-winning filmmaker Laurie Collyer (SHERRYBABY), SUNLIGHT JR. was nominated for Best Narrative Feature at 2013's Tribeca Film Festival. Featuring stand-out performances from Oscar nominees Naomi Watts (THE IMPOSSIBLE, DIANA) and Matt Dillon (CRASH, TO DIE FOR) and rising star Norman Reedus (THE WALKING DEAD) in a menacing, electrifying role, this is indie filmmaking at its very best.

Critic Reviews:

• " Urine tests and evictions, drunken brawls and rare outbursts of tenderness and grace. Collyer takes it all in, with a clear eye and no judgment. " – Stephen Whitty

• " Collyer paints a sobering and important picture of the way many of us live now. " – Sara Stewart

• " Collyer never looks down on her characters; instead, her films have the quality of a good Springsteen song. " – Tomas Hachard
