Led by a strong central performance from Virginia Gardner, Starfish is an intelligent, emotionally affecting, and uniquely expansive sci-fi/horror hybrid.

2.5/5
There's a lot to like about Starfish, but the choppy editing, the overly arthouse way it presents some of the themes, and underdeveloped aspects of the story in favor of the aural experience is ostracizing. Go to Full Review Jason Bailey New York Times 06/20/2019
If White's wild formal experimentation and narrative cul-de-sacs result in a strange identity crisis for the film - a sense that he wasn't entirely sure which movie he wanted to make - Gardner's stellar work unifies it. Go to Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times 05/30/2019
Not all of those pieces fit together. But they combine into something strikingly original. Go to Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community 01/22/2023

Starfish offers a new look at how humans deal with grief while also making its own mark within the horror genre. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 10/21/2020
Sometimes a little too music-video-like, and playfully random...I couldn't relate. Still, many millennial viewers seem to think Starfish is amaaaaaazing. Go to Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinema Sentries 09/25/2020
An ambitious piece of science fiction that manages to keep afloat despite its attempt to juggle two vastly different storylines. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Steven G Aug 17 Found it, watched it, loved it. I'll interpret it the way I want. See more A Tough M 01/29/2024 Random images thrown together, no plot, no story, no conclusion. Worst soundtrack in the history of movies. How does this garbage get made???? See more Aldis H 11/29/2023 Just about the most presumptuous, self-congratulatory, go-nowhere, do-nothing movie I've ever seen. See more Dana K 09/10/2023 Beautiful story of grief and regret, maybe I understood it perfectly because my husband of 19 years passed in May…. See more S J B @sjbang 12/31/2022 I found this movie to be profoundly thoughtful, intelligent and beautiful. I've watched it 3 times, and continue to find more, learn more, with each viewing. I highly recommend this to anyone not looking for mindless action/adventure. See more 07/27/2022 This is a beautiful, very personal film about explores the themes of grief and loss through the metaphysical lens of a young woman struggling with the messy conundrum of the human condition. The substance of the film is accompanied by a poignant score and an eclectic soundtrack that surrounds film as it guides the audience through an emotional rollercoaster. I am looking for to the next film by A.T. White, with great interest. See more Read all reviews
