Audience Reviews

Petros T Featuring great performances by the leading duo of Dree Hemingway and Besedka Johnson, the beautifully shot "Starlet" is an endearing watch. Baker and Bergoch's slice-of-life script is captivating: the characters and their arc are really well done and carry the film on their shoulders as they immerse the viewer in every little moment for the entire duration. And although familiar tropes aren't avoided, the film never becomes hackneyed, emerging instead as emotionally powerful in its restraint.

Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/28/23 Full Review Jed I 6.3/10 — "Okay"/"Watchable"-(Seen on 4/30/23) Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/23 Full Review James B *Spoiler Alert*Another great American Indy gem from Sean Baker, enjoyed the film but I found the motivation of the lead character perplexing. So she felt guilty about keeping all the money she discovered in the thermos so she gets to know the old lady. If she felt guilty then why not just try to tell her again (after she'd cut her off and slammed the door in her face the first time). And then offers to take her to Paris, bizarre. Maybe I'm just being too simplistic and then the old lady did say she has more money than she could spend from her late husband. Just seemed like an odd way to start a friendship.Other than that a great film, I prefer his others but only slightly; they've all been really solid films. I really love this director's films so much, I get so engaged in his films that when the movie is over it's like waking up from a dream. I can't wait to see what this Indy legend creates next, I'm officially a fan. Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member I rented this film after watching and loving Red Rocket and Florida Project. What a trip! Great performances, very fun premise. It's sweet without ever being cheesy. Highly recommend if you liked other Sean Baker movies.
