Starlet Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The film is about as indie as indie movies get, with a homemade, washed-out look that drives home the genuineness of the performances.
Entertainment Weekly
Lisa Schwarzbaum
A strikingly unsentimental study in female friendship between unmoored souls in L.A.'s bleached, glamour-challenged San Fernando Valley.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Starlet sneaks up on you.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
"Starlet" is like a flower growing out of a septic tank.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Where it counts, "Starlet" ... allows its characters room to maneuver within the potential cliches.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
The plotline is unpromising - young porn actress befriends crotchety old lady - and the setup is underwhelming. But stick with "Starlet," and you'll reap unexpected rewards.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
This slender film is bolstered by strong performances, particularly from Hemingway (daughter of Mariel) and her 85-year-old co-star.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The film itself deserves praise for its portraits of these two women and the different worlds they inhabit.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
A thrillingly, unexpectedly good American movie about love and a moral awakening ...
AV Club
Nathan Rabin
Starlet is refreshingly unsentimental in its depiction of both youth and age.
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.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
[An] ethereal slice of life in the San Fernando Valley ...
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
When the film has to get into more depth regarding its characters futures and pasts, it falters a bit but there's still a lot to like here.
Time Out Chicago
A.A. Dowd
No amount of strong acting, however, can entirely compensate for the dramatic conveniences or every shrill appearance by Jane's cartoonishly despicable roommates.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Baker effectively juxtaposes two vastly different worlds, though he never makes the case that either is as significant as the gauzy visuals suggest.
Chicago Reader
Ben Sachs
This is confident, engrossing storytelling, and the actors are terrific.
ARTINFO.com
J. Hoberman
As its title suggests, "Starlet" is a Hollywood story, albeit one that Hollywood would not be likely to produce.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
You may have never heard of Sean Baker, but he's one of the most astute and least sentimental chroniclers of life on the fringes working in film today.
NPR
Scott Tobias
Starlet represents a welcome throwback to the smoggy West Coast character studies of the 1970s - and not just because the generational chasm between its two leads evokes Harold and Maude.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
An empathic, absorbing tale of the old and the beautiful, Starlet tracks an unlikely intergenerational friendship in the San Fernando Valley.
