My Sunshine (, Boku no Ohisama) is a 2024 Japanese coming-of-age sports drama film written and directed by Hiroshi Okuyama.
My Sunshine centres on Takuya and Sakura, a young boy and girl who are training together as ice dancers under the tutelage of Arakawa, a figure skating coach.
To garner natural performances, Okuyama did not provide a script to the film's young actors prior to filming. Actors were given the bare minimum dialogue once on set and asked to improvise the rest of their lines.
The film premiered in the Un Certain Regard program at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where it was named as a nominee for the Queer Palm.
It was also invited at the 29th Busan International Film Festival in 'Special program in focus' Teenage Minds, Teenage Movies section and it will be screened in October 2024.
The film holds a 91% "Fresh" score on review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, based on 11 reviews with an average rating of 8.5/10. Pete Hammond of Deadline characterized My Sunshine as a "quiet and lilting charmer of a coming-of-age story."
