I give stars basically as to how much I enjoyed a movie. All sorts of other factors will matter to me, but at the end of the day it all adds up to enjoyment. I really enjoyed 11.6. The movie had a great sense of workplace honesty, had realistic relationship scenes, broke the suburban monotony periodically with the outdoors (using good framing and good cameras), and all was delivered by great actors brilliantly cast. There were levels of interest for me. For example, there was a bit of an Of Mice And Men thing going on with a co-worker. The marriage relationship was distinctly odd, but strangely compelling. That aspect could have been an indie movie in of itself. This is a strange tale about a strange man, as well as a stranger than fiction tale, and the filmmakers here have delivered the story with great sympathy and respect.
