As with Meat Eater and Steven Rinella's fantastically addictive library works, Stars In the Sky is visually stunning with captivaing story-telling. It provides morsels of information that feeds the viewer just enough to look further while being a good introduction to Rinella's entire body of work.
The only complaint I have is that the sheer amount of subject matter the film tries to cover restricts what it could have been. I believe that a limited series with each episode covering one aspect that was mentioned in this film would have been a better vehicle, or set of vehicles, to express what it was trying to say. And that's the only reason I didn't rate this higher.

The Relationships between Noble Beasts & Men
Biased while respectful
I'm not a meat eater but I respect hunters who hunt for food.
Disappointed as this film was a white man's perspective, not one indigenous hunter was featured in this film.
Just the surface
Like any modern moral dilemma, the subject could be talked about and debated for hours, if not days. Of course this short film isn't going to cover everything. My favorite part about this film is that you have two sides to the coin. You have perspectives given both for and against hunting. The creators of this film didn't portray the advocate against hunting in some negative way, nor did they try to "shut him down".
They presented both sides of the argument, albeit much more towards their side, but gave you the option to judge. I commend that type of "respect for the enemy", if you want to call it that. Giving your opposition a voice.
