Leave your thoughts about Five Star.
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisSlow and steady, and with remarkable assuredness, Keith Miller’s Five Star plays mean-streets drama in the lowest of keys. |
| The Film StageForrest CardamenisBecause of the heavy use of tropes, the documentary style and genre subversion are not enough to make Five Star feel urgent or authentic. |
| Aisle SeatMike McGranaghanWriter/director Keith Miller has made a film that never feels forced, never seems artificial. James "Primo" Grant is electrifying in the lead role. |
| New YorkerRichard BrodyThe writer and director, Keith Miller, establishes engaging characters but stifles their thoughts and emotions, sets up dramatic situations but avoids their practicalities and implications. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoWith a thicker thread to grasp onto as far as a plot and a particularly compelling turn by Grant, "Five Star" proves more accessible than "Welcome to Pine Hill" without sacrificing any of its raw energy. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonThe complexities, the danger, and the seductiveness of the gang lifestyle are often explored in Hollywood cinema, but rarely with the authenticity and emotion seen in Keith Miller's Five Star. |
| We Got This CoveredMatt DonatoFive Star has the power to make anyone appreciate the life they have, and think about what it really takes to be a man. |
| indieWireEric KohnAs a sociological experiment, Five Star offers plenty of talking points, but its real triumph is that the cast delivers, yielding a story in which the heightened suspense emerges organically from a gritty foundation of realism. |
| Village VoiceAbby GarnettNew York onscreen is often a fantasy of hustlers, hardened cops, and the spoiled urban yuppies of the Baumbach and Dunham universes. In that sense, writer-director Keith Miller's modest drama Five Star is the kind of depiction the city sorely needs. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeFollowing up on his lauded debut, Welcome to Pine Hill, Miller again blends fiction and reality to fine effect. |
