Critic Reviews of "Sunshine Superman"
Detroit NewsJuly 28, 2015You may find "Sunshine Superman" exhilarating or you may find "Sunshine Superman" terrifying, but you almost surely will not find it boring.
Toronto SunJune 08, 2015While the doc takes a conventional and even pedestrian approach -- with multiple talking-head interviews and some re-enactments with actors -- there is also plenty of spectacular archival footage showing jumps dating back to the 1960s.
Globe and MailJune 04, 2015Long before there were GoPros, there was Boenish, a camera mounted on his helmet, jumping from Yosemite's El Capitan or L.A. skyscrapers under construction.
Christian Science MonitorMay 29, 2015Boenish's wife, Jean, who trained to jump with him, is interviewed extensively, and, although Strauch doesn't provide much backstory for her, she emerges as that rarity -- a perfect matchup to a seemingly unmatchable man.
Arkansas Democrat-GazetteNovember 15, 2016The unabashed freedom and high spirits of the film are almost overshadowed by the brutally sobering ending.
New Zealand HeraldMay 04, 2016Sunshine Superman is a touch long, and at times pedestrian but it's still a moving, thrilling story.
Baret NewsDecember 24, 2015Ever watched an extreme sports enthusiast leap off a mountain to his death? No? Then you haven't seen this bittersweet biopic about a compulsive base jumper with a death wish.
Laramie Movie ScopeDecember 23, 2015This documentary about Carl Boenish, founder of modern BASE jumping is a captivating portrait of a man unlike any other. Not just an adrenaline junkie, but a superb cinematographer, technical wizard, philosopher, filmmaker and promoter of his sport.
FILMINK (Australia)November 12, 2015This is still a wonderful portrait of a man who chose to embrace life to its fullest whilst biting his thumb at gravity.
