Reviews


90
The Hollywood Reporter - John DeFore
A mismatched-friends drama whose overall sensitivity is belied by a couple of clumsily contrived plot points, Sean Baker's Starlet pairs story and setting perfectly.
83
IndieWire - Eric Kohn
The story retains an inscrutable tone that sometimes makes its emotional qualities feel remote, but it still delivers a powerful message about the challenge of self-diagnosis by rooting it in universal experience
80
NPR - Scott Tobias
Starlet shows enough of her unbalanced, unsustainable situation to make sense of her connection to Sadie, however frail a ballast her new friend might be. Their need for each other is disarmingly sweet, but far from sticky.
80
Los Angeles Times - Robert Abele
It's a character study about faith in connectedness, with an unforced love for cross-generational companionship that's special indeed.
75
The A.V. Club - Nathan Rabin
Starlet is an unusually subtle, quiet character study - especially given the potentially salacious subject matter - that builds to a quietly powerful climax.
