The Starling Girl Ratings & Reviews

  • Kevin WardJuly 4, 2025
    Eliza Scanlen continues to impress with every new role.  Here she stars as Jem Starling in a coming of age drama about a 17y/o experiencing her sexual awakening while living in a fundamentalist Christian community. She begins an affair with a 28 y/o married man, Owen (Lewis Pullman).  In a world where any acts of self love, self exploration and self expression are seen as vanity, Jem’s experiences with Owen enlighten her to the possibilities of a different kind of existence.
