Random images thrown together, no plot, no story, no conclusion. Worst soundtrack in the history of movies. How does this garbage get made????

Just about the most presumptuous, self-congratulatory, go-nowhere, do-nothing movie I've ever seen.

Beautiful story of grief and regret, maybe I understood it perfectly because my husband of 19 years passed in May….

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.

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.

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.

Bizarre, even for me. Hard to follow. I didn't really get the point of the story.

I know the critics really like this movie for the lead performance and the atmosphere that the director creates through image and sound, but I found it's inconsistent tone, lack of compelling narrative, and its inability to "stick the landing" major sticking points that kept this unique sci-fi/mystery movie from having the impact that it's ideas deserved to have.

Boring, slow and nonsensical. Still have no idea what it's about

Big sci-fi fan. Somewhat easy to please. Not this time. The money they spent to make this huge waste of time would have been better spent as a donation to the actors studio.

Original. Beautiful. Unexpected. Magnificently written. It's just a masterpiece in every way.

Listen to the audience reviews on this one.

‘Starfish' Plays Like an Eclectic Mixtape of Cosmic Horror

STARFISH is a kind of cosmic scifi in the way horror has a cosmic subgenre. With a very sparse cast, this movie manages to be engaging and tell its story with minimal interactions and a few examples of stunning effects. While the movie doesn't delve too deeply in the main character's character we get a good enough sense of who she was and how she is helping her friend. We learn what happened to the world at her pace, but are given enough of the pieces to put together the picture before she does. Story aside, the wintry small-town scenery and complementary winter costuming are some excellent choices.

The atmosphere and mood of the movie is the story. Quite different and enjoyable.

Poor pacing does not a "slow burn" make. Lingering moments should actually advance the narrative but, here, they are just long pauses with no discernable intent. Ambiguity for the sake of obfuscation isn't mysterious or very thrilling, especially when it keeps begging the question, "What am I supposed to be interested in here?" and in the end, leads to nowhere.

Such a beautiful and powerful movie. (2018 A.T WHITE)

HORRIBLE. SLOW. Waste of time. There's a five minute period near the beginning where you think "now this is going somewhere"...it's not.

This is what happens when hipsters make movies. It had potential, but definitely needed more Providence, Rhode Island, less Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

Boring. I also fell asleep it was so dull.
