Danny Boyle is good at beautiful hopelessness. If Sunshine isn't enough to convince you of that, see also: 127 Hours, Trainspotting, 27 Days Later, and Trance. This film does a lot of really great visual storytelling with foreshadowing and symbolic use of color and shadows. It's a pretty dark story that perhaps not the best thing to watch when you're living abroad and having a not great day but MAN is it well-made and as far as a "science fiction" movie goes, I thought the story held up pretty well. The connective tissue from plot point to point holds together well. And the cast is really, really good.
Young Rose Byrne!
Lots of pretty man-cheekbones.
