Starfish 2023 Starfish

in Hindustan Times

Despite Khushalii Kumar's commendable performance, the film struggles to rise above the challenges posed by its choppy narrative, impulsive editing choices, and a screenplay that feels like a missed opportunity. The cinematic voyage, instead of smoothly sailing through emotional depths, becomes a bumpy ride that leaves the audience grappling with the film's untamed currents. In conclusion, Starfish falters in its attempt to deliver a compelling exploration of human emotions, primarily due to its choppy narrative, impulsive editing, and a screenplay that lacks the finesse needed to navigate the thematic complexities. While Jim Edgar's cinematography remains a highlight, it becomes a victim of the film's overall lack of cohesion.
