Our take
With a high-concept pitch as his springboard—an enthusiastic sperm donor discovers he’s fathered 533 kids—Québécois writer-director Ken Scott dives into a winning series of set-pieces and sight gags. Deftly attuned to the nuances of genre, Starbuck brings new meaning to the term “coming-of-age.”
