When the Starlight Ends

I didn't know the politics of this Indie Film when I bought it. Sam H. monologuing in an American Accent was different and showcased a certain acting range. I expect eccentric from Indie films and that they are uncomfortable and off putting. This film does meet my expectations. It will be a rare gem in my collection with Sam H. despite the politics.

Sam Heughan did a great job as this character. The criticism that his American accent needs work is unwarranted. People come to America from everywhere in the world - the faint trace of an accent from another place suits the author character perfectly. It was a refreshingly offbeat movie. Just a bit difficult to sort out the story, which is a shame because that caused the movie to just miss being an excellent one. Still, it is entertaining and interesting and certainly good enough to watch more than once. Enjoy.

Besides a horrible script, Sam didn't have a chance with an American accent. Instead of acting you can literally see him thinking about the words he must pronounce. Not to mention the bad edits and fake green screen demise. Oh well. At least David Arquette wasn't bad. As far as the other actors they were all pretty bad but Sam and the agent took the cake on the overacting curse. Oy.

Sorry, Sam. Strange script. Confusing editing. I can believe Sam Heughan as pretty much anything except awkward and lacking confidence. I basically felt uncomfortable the whole time I was watching it.

In most movies (all movies) editing can make or break a movie. This is the case with When the Starlight Ends, it broke it. It was confusing and choppy. I am only giving this movie 3 ( and I am being generous) stars because I liked Arabella Oz and Sam Heughan. Although they had zero chemistry I did like the funny moments they shared. I would have liked to see how it was originally intended to be seen. The talent of Sam Heughan was a total waste of his talent. They also should have let him keep his accent. I don't normally give negative reviews or reviews at all. If you see this movie just enjoy Sam.
