Surprisingly incoherent and boring

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Great movie. So simple but explains the story so well. The best part is the on screen chemistry but it helps that the main stars are married in real life. You can really relate to the story.

I loved this sweet and realistic romance. The leads give out mesmerizing performances that tug at the heart strings. the city of Christchurch is the third character and beautifully shot in a style inspired by Richard Linkletter, it is not just a film but art in every sense of the word. The challenges facing the characters are realistic and the true shame is that this was not widely distributed because society as a whole could definitely benefit from a seeing this. The genuine emotions touched on here will have you laughing and crying in the same breath. You'll be rooting for Charlie and Eve up until the end and even then you'll be asking for more. If you have the chance do NOT pass it up!

Unorthodox romance tells the story of an estranged couple, who briefly reconnect following an overseas fling that results in pregnancy, with the door left open for a more enduring reconciliation after a weekend spent rediscovering their mutual affection. The two leads really carry the entire story which is surprisingly effective despite having really very little actual plot. It's somewhat unconventional in that the story begins several months post an intense holiday romance, with the characters now at their lowest ebb in the relationship, re-building trust and forging bonds as prospective parents sober following their torrid affair. NZ location work showcases the multi-textured city of Christchurch, it's picturesque beaches, parks and gardens contrasting the demolition of modern ruins, a reminder of the earthquake devastation inflicted only a few short years ago. There's an occasional misfire in the situations (i.e. the dial-a-rap song and Gondala strip both seem a little unnatural even allowing for their context) but otherwise, the story seems very sincere. Probably could've developed a couple more characters and scenarios to pad out the 70 minute run time (e.g. perhaps some more meat in the flashbacks which are relayed like silent memories), but overall if you can appreciate a well acted independent movie in which character is gradually revealed at a deliberate pace, then this sensitive, atypical romance should keep you engaged.

I was literally in tears this entire film. The love story between the two leads is so simple, real and poignant!The acting is superb - the script is flawless - the cinematography is amazing. It is such a shame nobody has viewed this film!! I caught it by a chance screening on TV when I was supposed to be watching the big lebowski (for the 100th time) on DVD but my DVD player broke down so I turned to the TV and this extraordinary movie was playing - how lucky I was! Sunday is a very sad, depressing movie, but it is filled with so much hope, passion and love that it manages to make you uneasy in the stomach for both positive and negative reasons. One of the most touching films of my life - I don't give a 10/10 rating lightly, but given the vast array of deep emotion I felt by this chance encounter I rate it my perfect romantic afternoon!! Highly recommended for anyone with a big heart!
