Review For Movie Starlet

Baker effectively juxtaposes two vastly different worlds, though he never makes the case that either is as significant as the gauzy visuals suggest.
Elizabeth Weitzman-New York Daily News

This is confident, engrossing storytelling, and the actors are terrific.
Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader

Starlet sneaks up on you.
Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer

Where it counts, "Starlet" ... allows its characters room to maneuver within the potential cliches.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune

The film itself deserves praise for its portraits of these two women and the different worlds they inhabit.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

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.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle

...has a sunny SoCal vibe that belies its tawdry milieu
Philip Martin-Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Their friendship goes nowhere you might expect - Sadie doesn't teach Jane any hard-won life lessons, and Jane doesn't try to rekindle Sadie's lost youth. There are no montages here.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI)

Either avoids or transcends nearly every cliché we've come to associate with American independent film.
Michael Nordine-Willamette Week

No amount of strong acting, however, can entirely compensate for the dramatic conveniences or every shrill appearance by Jane's cartoonishly despicable roommates.
A.A. Dowd-Time Out Chicago

"Starlet" is achingly sad, shrewdly funny, and shockingly honest.
KJ Doughton-Film Threat

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.
Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com

Hemingway's very good at taking a girl who often seems like an insufferable L.A. stereotype and shading a range of values and feelings that exist somewhere in those thigh-high socks.
Matt Pais-RedEye

Sean Baker's Starlet almost miraculously transcends this story's cornball trappings, with a minor-key muted humanism and bruised emotions roiling just beneath the surface. It's a hushed marvel of a movie.

Sean Burns-Philadelphia Weekly

...consistently surprising in the way it mingles tender emotions with inherent tawdriness, casually incorporating graphic sex scenes with touching moments of innocent human interaction.
Corey Hall-Metro Times (Detroit, MI)

Sean Baker's amiably oblique Starlet finds fresh ways to tell a familiar story.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express

Convincing performances from Hemingway and the charmingly crabby Johnson and an unhurried pace ensure that Baker's film achieves its modest goals.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian

A pair of powerful lead performances by big-screen newcomers boost this unassuming low-budget character study.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
