Review of Starfuckers

Starfuckers (2022)
8/10
Dark and glittery
11 November 2022
What a captivating, clever, well-performed short film, brimming with fierceness and unflinching intensity. I think enough of the backstop can be deduced from the theatrical revenge, though of course I want to know what happens next.

An uncomfortable topic is made more bearable by the tragic mask of camp and comedy, and we are left unsettled by the extended staredown at the end. The second half of this piece is practically acrobatic in its delivery. And every performance is spot on. The creepiness of one, the sly corners of another, the steel threat of the third.

I am definitely looking forward to seeing more work from everyone involved.
