The Star Reviews
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Bette Davis received her ninth Oscar nomiation for this formulatic melodrama about a fading, alcoholic movie star, saved by the help of a young actor (Sterling Hayden).
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
The fact that she's a petty has-been that squandered all her money doesn't really endear her to us or make us feel sorry for her plight
Slant Magazine
Dan Callahan
A threadbare, bargain-basement Sunset Boulevard.
Film Freak Central
Walter Chaw
Nearly washed-up Davis essaying completely washed-up Davis.
Film Threat
Rory L. Aronsky
The Star is good for that one Saturday night or some kind of gathering among friends...
Associated Press
Bob Thomas
The Star is a wonderful tour de force for Bette Davis.
Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder
Nell Dodson Russell
This serving of superlative dramatic film com will be received with gasps of admiration from the legion of Davis fans although there certainly isn't much else worthy of mention when Miss isn't switching her torso around before the camera.
