The Last Sunrise review – Amazon’s soapy YA romance is thankless and bland Amazon has built a lucrative business model around its adaptation of young adult romance novels, churning out predictable content that prioritizes profit over artistic merit.
The latest addition to this canon is The Last Sunrise, directed by Carlson Young and based on Anna Todd's 2025 novel.
On the surface, it seems like another iteration of a successful formula: idyllic locations, wealthy and attractive leads, and a summer fling fantasy that reads like a greatest hits playlist of 2000s romcom tropes.
