Leave your thoughts about Third Star.
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerImpressively directed and sharply written, this is a powerfully emotional British drama with superb performances from all four leads. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineThis beautifully shot and finely acted drama will struggle to find an audience simply because its subject matter is ultimately so dark |
| Film InquiryJulia SmithThird Star is a brilliant, heart-warming film. It is written, directed and filmed beautifully. |
| GuardianPhelim O'NeillThe characters aren't particularly likable or clever, but their chemistry is convincing and it's well performed. |
| Total FilmNeil SmithHattie Dalton's direction is sensitive but ponderous, making our own third star more than slightly grudging. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Marc LeeDalton's first feature doesn't quite reach the philosophical depths she appears to be aiming for, but Cumberbatch keeps sentimentality at bay, and the ending is almost unbearably poignant. |
| Detroit NewsTom LongAs road trips go, this one travels far and travels well. |
| Empire MagazineAnna SmithEven a talented cast struggle to convince in this tough sell of a film. |
| Sight and SoundKate StablesUnderneath Third Star's classy cladding, which camouflages its maudlin streak and conventional melodramatic underpinnings, there lies a TV movie first and last. |
| GuardianPhilip FrenchRather familiar and predictable, though not dislikable. |
