Stars Above Us

About This Movie

Stars Above Us delves into the raw, often overlooked aspects of homelessness through Melli and her son Ben. The film's atmosphere is heavy with a sense of isolation, yet there's a flicker of hope that Melli clings to, often feeling both painfully realistic and deeply moving. The pacing allows for moments of quiet introspection, giving viewers a chance to absorb the weight of their situation. The practical effects, while minimal, effectively create an authentic camp environment that contrasts sharply with the world just outside the forest. Performances carry the film, particularly the chemistry between Melli and Ben, which feels genuine and heart-wrenching at times. It's a somber reflection on resilience, family, and the fight for a better life.
