| National PostChris KnightClambering over rocks, these hale explorers are reminiscent of Apollo astronauts, similarly aged but healthy. Certainly their contributions to our understanding of our universe are no less. |
| NOW TorontoRadheyan SimonpillaiExplanations about black holes and spectral light are neat, but these guys really get deep on their relationship to life, death and each other. |
| Times (UK)Kevin MaherStar Men is a quirky, sweet and deceptively moving documentary about four pioneering British astronomers. |
| User ReviewStephen HThis is such a wonderful and charming film - it had a profound effect on me. Following the reuniting of four exceptional but now elderly astronomers after many years, this documentary is a moving tale of old friendships and strong characters. Much, much more than a film about astronomers and their field of work, this is a film about perseverance, determination and mortality. It is incredibly thought-provoking, sad and funny throughout. Beautifully conceived and directed with some stunning photography. Highly recommended. |
| User ReviewPhillip SMovie makre should not have been part of the movie and her narration was amateur. The remaining part of the movie was charming. |
