Starbound

About This Movie

Starbound is a curious little comedy from '96 that dives into domestic chaos with a touch of absurdity. The Meldrews, your typical frustrated couple, have their lives turned upside down when a drug dealer takes refuge in their shed. The humor is quirky, with a mix of situational comedy and sharp dialogue that keeps it engaging. Victor’s gardening job, coupled with the not-so-innocent herbicide he deals with, adds a strange layer of dark humor. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it lends to that offbeat charm. Performances are solid, bringing a blend of realism and silliness. It's a film that captures the ridiculousness of everyday life, wrapped up in a small-town vibe that's quite distinctive.
