I had such high hopes for this the only redeeming factors that the lead actress is super beautiful otherwise I have no idea what I just watched I wasted an hour and a half of my life and whoever wrote this owes me if I could ever meet the person who put this movie out I would smack them and then kick them in the nuts..and anyone who gave this more than one star you are a horrible person because someone else might get the wrong idea and watch this horrible mess once again the lead actress is very beautiful but that does not make anyone have to watch this movie

Movie is boring and so slow I went to have dinner in the middle of movie and came back to catch the ending.

Some movies you have to "pause" when you go to the bathroom. This is the kind of movie that you can "start it" go wash your car come back and you would have missed nothing. In a one women show the turtle got voted "best new comer"... seriously though there's nothing here. Productuon values are good. Virginia Gardner the lead and only character in the movie is very good. The writer/director had nothing to say no story to tell. Well he did have a story to tell but seems he chose not to tell it or lost it in editing. Just kidding this movie was not lost in the editing room. Starfish is what you get when you have a kernel of an idea and a slightly smaller kernel of imagination. (6 turtle puns deleted out of respect for the 3 people who will read this review)

Watching this film made me feel as though someone else got all the crazy things I did when I was grieving the death of my best friend. The writer seems to capture all the emotions of grief, regret, and guilt that we all have when someone very dear to us dies and he does so in a very beautiful and poetic way. I don't feel like a second of the film was wasted. There was some things that were definitely left to interpretation that makes me want to watch this again and see what things I may have missed the first time around. Bring some tissues and a friend to discuss with afterwards.

Many can imagine how it is to lose a loved one, but just who really is in mourning who knows the pain. The film uses science fiction to go through all the stages of grief; Denial - Anger - Bargain - Depression - Acceptance. In which we see Grace herself helping her friend Aubrey overcome her death. The electromagnetic waves, the end of the world and everything else are just allegories, they are the living feelings themselves. In the end where we can see Aubrey finally accepting that the world without her best friend is over, is behind her and she needs to move on. That is, let it be destroyed. Forgive and Forget. A feeling that only those who are really in mourning know the pain.

Boring, bored. A boring movie about being bored. Wasted my free time on this.

I don't know why a lot of these low budget productions and independent movies get confused on what genre that they are or what kind of movie that they are. They sell their movies as an edge of the seat horror movie while most times it has less suspense than a romantic drama. It's actually funny how this movie tries to be unique in its storytelling and art direction but forgetting the most important thing which is to entertain its viewers. The lead actress Virginia Gardner is in every shot of the movie and did a great job but the movie is basically a boring drama with a few horror moments. The creatures were well designed but they weren't used often enough and weren't as threatening as I expected them to be in the storyline of the movie. I will put this movie on the list of don't bother to watch. It's boring and lackluster. It would have been more interesting if it was edited to be a 30 minutes short movie rather than a 100 minutes one.

Highly stylized, this film explores in all stages the beautiful monster that grief can be. Every nano-second is a metaphor's metaphor, as we watch the extremely talented Virginia Gardner fight her demons in the form of saving the world-- a last quest left by her departed best friend. For some, death leaves us in an apocalyptic snowstorm, makes us cartoons, forces us to break into our dead best friend's house and fantasize that they are with us while still regretting all the things we've done while our friends stared down mortality. STARFISH is one film that memorializes one person in a hundred different ways. It captures the one hundred emotions that death leaves when it doesn't stop to give you a warning date. It is as compelling in its broken down pieces as it is fully formed, and I thank it for allowing me to grieve my lost friends by saving my own world.

Whatever this was, it was a mess. No real story, no real beginning, no real end. Absolutely pointless waste of time.

My wife and I saw "Starfish" at the Nitehawk in Williamsburg, Brooklyn last week with the director in attendance for a q&a session after the film. He will be roadshowing it himself over the next few months across the U.S. Highly recommend you see it and listen to him share his stories about the film if you get a chance. The director wrote, edited and scored the film with a friend so he has lots of low budget filmmaking tales about the movie. The film is a genre piece that is a mediation on loss, loneliness and regret that is hauntingly beautiful. Though slow at times, the score and cinematography are amazing and the special effects are beyond compare for such a low budget film. The lead actress is in every scene and she really sells the hope, depression and shell shock that embody her character at different points in the movie. Her performance, and that of the turtle, are make or break for the film and she never feels less that real no matter how fantastical things become. The turtle is pretty awesome too. This is isn't a film that will answer all your questions or give you nightmares, but if you are looking for a genre film that tells a story in a different way and engenders a conversation afterwards then this it. Truly a surprise and a breath of fresh air from start to finish.
