When the Starlight Ends

I have seen this kid act in Outlander. He is a good actor. This movie did not showcase his talents. No worries! He will continue to surprise us all👍

Oh, what a pity... This could've been a really good film, actually. I thought it had some intereting ingredients: an intriguing story about love and loss, coping with the consequences of the choices we make, the price people pay to follow their calling or achieve success, handling regret, all charmingly sprinkled with a touch of existential pondering. Also, a great match for the lead role and good supporting role actors.

I don't know what else was wrong about making this film besides apparently very little funding. Poor directing, editing, camera work? A dire need for more close-ups? Different camera lenses? A little bit of everything?

Also, it was disappointing to see the lead actors' potential squandered in a chaotic feature, on roles that could've been much better.

Needless to say that the final product turned out pretty mangled and felt a bit dull. Too bad...

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.

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.
