Five Stars means...
An excellent film, creative and well structured, possibly stylish or innovative. It has a clear and satisfying structure, appealing to the audience. Films at this level would generally be technically excellent, demonstrating a comprehensive grasp of filmmaking. Any acting/narration will be of a high standard, and the subject matter will be well researched etc.
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.
