Selected comments from a critique review, DMOFF:
“The film is technically competent, with good composition and lighting, as well as some very nice camera work … It’s used effectively to control the mood of the film, from its’ early scenes at May’s eye line, to the conclusion, where she once again regains her sense of belonging among her friends.”
“The film also has a very sincere and important message about depression and those dealing with it.”
“As a PSA-style public awareness piece, it’s perfectly effecting.”
“Dying Star [is] an excellent film to show to young people in order to open up a conversation about depression[.]”
