I had been waiting for this movie since it was announce I am a Huge Kame fan and I also love Lily Frankie so the two together what could go wrong? Right? As a Kame film it is not his usual venture, as a Lily Frankie work it is Exactly the kind of thing he normally does.
Lily Frankie (Pieta in the Toilet, Million Yen Women and his life story is told in Tokyo Tower (Me, Mom, and sometimes Dad)2007) doesn't take normal roles and his movies usually push society norms and thoughts.This movie is in the same vein.

The story was told well but you need to finish the movie to get to the thought provoking ending. It was tagged as comedy and I do not see how it can be. Medical, Family, Sci-fi I totally agree with.

A beautiful Star is a movie with an odd story. Actually, it was kind of complicated and, at some point, it just didn't make sense. You have to read the description before watching the movie, else you'll get lost, as they never clearly state what is happening. Also, even though the theme seemed interesting, it actually wasn't. So, story wise, I was disappointed. The performances, though, were really good, even though the characters were a mess. Finally, the ending was just so so, as it left many questions answered. But, at least, one of the stories were concluded.

Based on the reviews and critics, this movie is obviously not for everyone, but I liked it, surprisingly... and not just because i'm a Kame fan. The story is weird and feels incomplete, many questions are left unanswered, but smh i don't feel disappointed at all, maybe because the execution was really good and the acting and direction made me like if not fall in love with the characters.
I think i get the environmental message and appreciate the new light they shed on the issue of climate change, which was really thought provoking for me.
Last but not least, the unconventional attitude and actions of the family at the end left me with a warm heart and a teary eye.
"A beautiful star" gave me mixed feelings, I don't regret watching but I don't think I'd watch it again.
If you're going to watch, keep a very open mind and lower your expectations for the story to make much sense at the end.

I know my overall suggestion rate for this movie is low, but just hear me out. I have been wanting to watch this movie since the trailer came out, and I watched it as soon as I was able.
Now, let me start with the acting, it was absolutely well done. These are professional actors who know how to do their job which I also give credit to the behind the camera staff for.
However, as soon as I got into the story I was confused from beginning to end on what was happening. I believe they tried to explain with symbolism, but honestly kinda of bored me to death.
