Two Stars means... 
​
The work is a ‘Near Miss’ by the filmmaker.  They may have tried some brave or novel ideas which the judges believed didn’t work. 
Apart from shortcomings in the concept, there may have been technical or constructional issues:  Cinematography may be inadequate with little sign of attractive or well-composed images.  Sound may be uneven. 
​Story may feel too long.  The film may fail to show an adequate sense of purpose/structure/timing.  Voiceover may state the obvious.  Editing may not flow. 
Clearly each rating will inevitably cover a range of attainment levels, and will be subjective to some degree; film is a work of art not science.
Please also be aware that the general standard of films drifts over time.
