Neil Patrick Harris, Bella Ramsey, George Jaques, and the cast of Sunny Dancer faced a barrage of U.S. politics questions at the Berlin Film Festival presser, with Harris stating, "I'm interested in things that are apolitical." The film, a cancer-themed drama, has sparked debate about the role of cinema in addressing political issues. While Harris and Jaques emphasized the film's focus on human connection and personal growth, the actor was asked if he dares to criticize his government and if democracy in the U.S. is in danger. Harris responded by stating that he never read the script as a political statement, but rather as a story about a human growing up and having realizations about themselves and friendship. The presser also featured music star Este Haim, who composed the music for the film, and praised her sister's performance in One Battle After Another. The cast and crew were asked about the film's political implications, with Jaques stating that sometimes the most rebellious thing you can do is be optimistic, and that the film is ultimately about a young girl falling in love with the world again.
