      Not Good Enough
      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.
