Starfish Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
Starfish is very much its own sci-fi mixtape-curated with hit and miss offerings, but with an undeniable and meaningful sincerity all the same.
Bloody Disgusting
Meagan Navarro
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.
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
Starfish flips from introspective drama to Lovecraftian creature feature to pastel-tinged animation without ever losing coherence.
New York Times
Jason Bailey
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.
Los Angeles Times
Noel Murray
Not all of those pieces fit together. But they combine into something strikingly original.
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Gardner grounds the film with a nuanced performance that allows us to see past Aubrey's guarded exterior to the emotions that crash within her.
Chicago Reader
Cody Corrall
How does one grieve in the apocalypse? It's a question that festers in A.T. White's directorial debut like a ticking time bomb.

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas
Starfish is a monster film like no other; it eschews the big budget spectacle... to focus instead on a deep, symbolic introspection. It wears its low-budget indie credentials as a badge of honor as it traverses terrain as much psychological as geographic.
The Lens
Andrew Wyatt
It's The Mist as a one-woman college radio show, with a dollop of Another Earth and a dash of Tarkovsky. So, yeah: WEIRD.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
A beautifully realised meditation on grief, loss and suffering.
Daily Film Fix
Jonathan W. Hickman
A. T. White's fascinating debut feature isn't exactly hard science fiction, but there's certainly a logic to it. "Starfish" is one strange retro ride.
MovieJawn
Fiona Underhill
An unusual little independent film which looks and sounds great.
Film Inquiry
Jake Tropila
Given the minimal amount of budget White had to work with, Starfish is stunningly crafted.
Film Freak Central
Alice Stoehr
The first act of Starfish, with its oblique dialogue and shallow focus, is so lovely that it scarcely requires the pleasant if shallow film beyond it.
Orca Sound
Carey-Ann Pawsey
The emotion involved in the film are its best times. While the whole end of days and monsters are cool, it truly is the human element which shines.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Fernanda Guerrero's incredibly detailed production design contains layer upon layer of story in itself and enables us to feel Grace's presence as a character, as an influence Aubrey cannot escape.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
Starfish transforms the mourning process into a cosmic and post-apocalyptic drama that is as quiet and spare as it is fraught with tension and mystery.
Big Easy Magazine
Bill Arceneaux
Bold, to say the least, and frustratingly pretentious to say the most.
Fresh Fiction
James Clay
It's a film that morphs into (and between) different genres that boast talent behind the camera. But it's a bit too inaccessible.
Daily Dead
Heather Wixson
While it's true that Starfish feels more like a mood piece than it does a deeply layered narrative, that doesn't meant that White hasn't crafted something that is profoundly affecting and truly unforgettable all the same.
