To the Stars Ratings & Reviews
AWFJ.org
Nell Minow
Director Martha Stephens skillfully evokes the pettiness and unspoken longing of small town life and gets wonderfully natural performances from her young actors.
The Critical Movie Critics
Natasha Alvar
With each other, both [Maggie and Iris] find a space to belong, daring to reach for the stars towards a space beyond this myopic town...
Decider
John Serba
To the Stars is a familiar film, sure, but also a quite lovely film.
Out Magazine
Josh Encinias
How Maggie's own fate is handled squarely places her in the problematic trope that's as old as the black and white styling of the movie's cinematography.
Eye for Film
Jennie Kermode
Parts of the plot feel contrived, especially towards the end, but overall this is a warm-hearted film that will appeal to teenagers bored of fast-cut squealing comedies and blockbusters.
The Spool
Dot Green
A queer coming of age drama filled with remarkable moments.
Arts Fuse
Peg Aloi
To the Stars is a somewhat formulaic Middle America melodrama, enlivened by inspired and well-directed performances that infuse some radiant life into small-town struggles.
Critically Acclaimed Podcast
Witney Seibold
Initially, you may find 'To the Stars' dealing exclusively in well-worn cliches. But you may eventually find it emotionally disarming you, and then knocking you flat.
The Cinema Soloist
Adriana Gomez-Weston
To the Stars is mainly a story about friendship, but at the same time, it shows that being able to live your truth isn't so black and white.
AWFJ.org
Cate Marquis
With a fine cast and nicely crafted script, To the Stars explores both the stifling restrictions of its time period and and of the timeless struggles of adolescence.
Entertainment Weekly
Mary Sollosi
To the Stars seems downcast, at first glance, but it serves as a gentle, lovely reminder that one true friendship, even forged amid adversity, can be enough to keep you looking skyward.
IndieWire
Ryan Lattanzio
There's a grit and urgency to "To the Stars," of something bigger and darker coming along with the changing times.
RogerEbert.com
Tomris Laffly
There is ... an undeniable earnestness to this modest period effort that prioritizes misunderstood women and female friendships.
AV Club
Katie Rife
In some hands, that would be intriguing. Here, however, it's just lukewarm.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
The director Martha Stephens, working from a script by Shannon Bradley-Colleary, handles this material smoothly, creating a solid, tangible sense of place with landscapes, gusts of wind and a blue sky that feels more confining than sheltering.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The filmmakers' purpose is clear -- to portray the implacable prejudice of the time. But the tenderness and humor of the two girls' friendship, and the poetry of Maggie's pretensions, can't compete with the grotesque grimness of later developments.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Crust
[I]t is a movie that will reward your patience.
RogerEbert.com
Nick Allen
To the Stars is a movie that is effectively classic in its presentation, but when it comes to story it lacks a vital freshness.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
Starts like a slightly cartoonish teenage version of lesbian date-night favorite "Desert Hearts," then gradually plods toward an excess of retro-potboiler melodrama.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
By turns pulpy and restrained, with a strong emotional undertow.
