"Hold the Sun goes where too few filmmakers these days dare to go. The directors fearlessly tackle the everyday ho-hum. If you like fast cutting actions flicks, this pic isn’t for you. Instead, the film holds you and allows you to feel the way the light changes, and how body language and daily rituals really look." - Erica Marcus, San Francisco Bay Times
"Laura Zaylea and David Yun revive San Francisco's legendary experimental film movement with an all-female meditation on art and loneliness. Warning: this piece's eccentric structure may take a bit of getting used to, but viewers will soon respond to the hypnotic spell of a multi-character story-line." - David Lamble, Bay Area Reporter
"This is a reticent film that reflects a thoroughly urban, inspired solitude. Its characters are not all cohorts but are individuals who carry out their endeavors separately...Because these characters aren’t configured into a conventional narrative, the pleasure arises from getting a sense of their milieu and their psychology as they navigate it." -Kevin Langson, Edge San Francisco
"Hold the Sun’s exceptional cinematography, moments of magical realism, production design and sophisticated score – by local husband and wife musician team Jeannette Faith and Wes Steed – demonstrate the filmmakers’ promise." - Lori Higa, Portero View
