      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

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

      A Tough M Random images thrown together, no plot, no story, no conclusion. Worst soundtrack in the history of movies. How does this garbage get made???? Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/29/24 Full Review Aldis H Just about the most presumptuous, self-congratulatory, go-nowhere, do-nothing movie I've ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/23 Full Review Dana K Beautiful story of grief and regret, maybe I understood it perfectly because my husband of 19 years passed in May…. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review S J B 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/31/22 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member In a way, enigmatic like 2001 Space Odyssey (which makes a TON of sense ONLY if you read the book by Arthur C Clarke, which is awesome) However, this film delves into far too many Gen Z "feelings" for my liking, nor is there a book to clear it up, and if there was I doubt it would blow my mind. I mean, really? Portals that are opened (or closed???) by boring coffee shop music? Another point: critics gave this 87% and 2001 (a breakthrough film) 92%? Something is WAY out of wack here. Finally, initially intrigued, then bored, and soon thereafter irritated. NEVER scared (Horror???). Acting OK, visually interesting. It SHOULD be labelled Art house genre which is clearly not my bag. I can see how the intended audience would like it. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Meagan Navarro Bloody Disgusting 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. Rated: 2.5/5 Jul 3, 2019 Full Review Jason Bailey New York Times 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. Jun 20, 2019 Full Review Noel Murray Los Angeles Times Not all of those pieces fit together. But they combine into something strikingly original. May 30, 2019 Full Review Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? A Geek Community Starfish offers a new look at how humans deal with grief while also making its own mark within the horror genre. Rated: 9/10 Jan 22, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills Sometimes a little too music-video-like, and playfully random...I couldn't relate. Still, many millennial viewers seem to think Starfish is amaaaaaazing. Oct 21, 2020 Full Review Matthew St. Clair Cinema Sentries An ambitious piece of science fiction that manages to keep afloat despite its attempt to juggle two vastly different storylines.
