2.5/5

"Star People" is an interesting drama that is being sold as a science fiction movie. It works as an interesting character driven drama, but as science fiction it’s a bust.

3/5

Not only does it offer a UFO story, but it also deals with more grounded everyday "alien" issues that many will recognize. A strong combination that works elegantly here.

3.5/5

Star People manages to blend stories about obsession, addiction, immigration, and the search for meaning in a movie that seems to be about aliens from space.

This unusual journey from sci-fi adventure to intense character study is a challenging but beautifully managed piece of work.

Star People may not be the flashiest film this year, but it’s one of the most heartfelt.

The twilight of UFO movies, this movie is terrible. Drugs coming across the border and unshaven armpits.

This movie was a waste of time. Dreadful acting, predictable and all overlaid with a terrible soundtrack. Don’t waste your time….

Very engaging from start to finish. The storyline was very good and I couldn’t wait to find out the ending. I plan to watch again.
