Starfish was a well-meaning film that wanted to raise awareness about sepsis and show the personal struggles a young family would experience after one member suffers a live changing illness. It clearly had an eye on being a Theory of Everything-esque style film. But the results were more like a Lifetime film because the film's focus was only on the familial struggles, the low-budget, and some incredibly sappy moments. What elevated Starfish was its lead actors, especially Joanne Froggatt's performance which felt real.
