Eleanor, a talented but somewhat aimless woman, is forced to confront her own flaws and insecurities as she cares for Jonathan, a gifted young musician who has a difficult time relating to others. Jonathan’s brilliance in music and his tendency to shut people out due to his social anxiety create a tense dynamic between the two. As the relationship develops, Eleanor finds herself drawn into Jonathan’s world, gradually uncovering the layers of pain and loneliness that he hides behind his intellectual façade.

The film is beautifully understated, with quiet moments of introspection and character development. The performances are heartfelt, with Meester delivering a standout portrayal of Eleanor, a woman on the edge of self-doubt and self-realization. Jonathan’s character, portrayed with depth by the young actor, captures the struggles of a gifted yet isolated teenager, and the mutual transformation that takes place between him and Eleanor is moving.

The film’s cinematography, with its soft lighting and subtle framing, complements the delicate nature of the story. The central themes of the film—personal redemption, the power of human connection, and the importance of caring for one another—are explored in a way that feels both sincere and emotionally resonant.

Like Sunday, Like Rain is an intimate, tender film about how two seemingly disconnected individuals can help each other heal and grow, finding strength and understanding in the most unlikely of relationships.
