Stardust reviewed in Variety

In a mysteirous land, a fallen star transforms into a striking girl named Yvaine (Claire Danes).Variety’s John Anderson has this to say about STARDUST:

Everything but the enchanted kitchen sink shows up in the sprawling fairy tale “Stardust,” including evil witches, airborne pirate ships, double-parked unicorns and Robert De Niro as a cross-dressing sea captain.
