Child of the Stars

About This Movie

Child of the Stars is an intriguing drama that explores the interplay between faith and parental desperation. The story begins with Chihiro, a baby with eczema, whose parents are portrayed with a mix of love and anxiety as they seek a cure. The atmosphere is almost surreal when her father's co-worker gifts them water from an esoteric religious group. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the audience to absorb the weight of the parents' transformation into fervent followers. It's distinctive in its subtle critique of blind faith and the lengths people will go for their children. The performances have a raw, authentic quality, drawing you into their emotional turmoil. The practical effects, though minimal, are effective in emphasizing Chihiro's transition from illness to health, adding depth to the narrative.
