This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

This is another short film starring Clive Owen as a mysterious driver. The whole thing runs for 9 minutes, but the last 2 minutes are credits. Owen was still a very possible candidate for stepping into Pierce Brosnan's shoes as James Bond when this was made almost 15 years ago, He did not get the part, but at least he could drive Madonna around in this short movie. The queen of pop music plays a more extreme version of herself in here, a superstar with massive airs and graces. Obviously, this is also a sarcastic take on what media report on Madonna in terms of her alleged narcissism. The writer and director here was Guy Ritchie, Madonna's newly-wed husband. The action is not too memorable, but it's not too bad either. The whole thing gets rounded up with a catchy tune by Blur. All in all worth a watch, even if the drama from the other entries to Owen's driver series is not really there this time. Probably the funniest out of these. Recommended.

I really enjoyed experiencing Madonna getting her ass kicked by a BMW, it was entertaining, and the filming was done excellently. The acting was serious and monotone, which when the action hit, left me giggling at the spectacle. I strongly recommend this to anyone who needs an all healing medicine.

Guy Ritchie yet again demonstrates his ability to tell the whole story in the minimum number of frames. All the BMW films are worth the download time, but STAR is definitely the pick of the crop. Clive Owen is a fine dramatic actor (I really enjoyed his performance in Croupier); now he gets the chance to do comedy - and he does it very well. Considering that he spends the entire film sat in a car he does a great performance with his eyes alone. The script is very funny, the editing sharp to a frame, and Madonna demonstrates that being a pop diva doesn't mean that you can't laugh at yourself.Why are you reading this when you could be downloading it?
