Starfish

Drama

"Starfish" tells the story of a couple whose love is tested to its limit after their perfect life falls apart in a single moment.

The critical consensus

Starfish is commendably restrained, thoughtful and well-acted but that doesn't stop it being a tough film to endure.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, The List, 24/10/2016

The film may be more suited to the small screen, but it features good performances.

***(*)(*)Alistair Harkness, The Scotsman, 27/10/2016

A gruelling dramatisation of true events.

***(*)(*)Allan Hunter, Daily Express, 28/10/2016

This drama based on the true story of a man who lost limbs and part of his face after contracting septicaemia has good performances, but the story may be better served with a documentary.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 27/10/2016

Though intimate and well-meaning, a young father’s shocking ordeal after being struck with sepsis is tough to watch and more suited to TV than cinema.
