Allen Sunshine review deft character study bathed in a sense of goodness
Briefly

"Chamandy's character study has an almost cleansing plainness and, as Allen's friendship with the foul-mouthed teenagers deepens, a mild loopiness reminiscent of David Gordon Green's more down-home efforts."
"Allen Sunshine is a man who seems to have successfully decluttered his life. Accompanied by his great dane, Sully, he spends his time recording nature sounds in the surrounding woods and tweaking his electronica music indoors."
"While a touch slight, the film displays a pleasing self-possession simply bathing in the sense of goodness Allen is trying to nurture in his life, from teaching Kevin to ride a bike to getting a pie-making lesson from Bill the delivery man."
