Inside Daisy Clover, although it starts off a little dazed, is a solid story of the harsh, sometimes rotten world of Hollywood. Daisy Clover is a street urchin with a golden voice and gets unbelievably lucky when she is signed to be a star. She navigates the realm of celebrity with the naivety of any uneducated fifteen year old but grows in wisdom and strength as the industry and the people who work within it take advantage of her inexperience and vulnerability.
Natalie Wood shows a more serious side of her talent as she expertly and believably suffers through the world that every kid dreams of. Her pathos and subtly pull you into the plight of her character without it feeling overbearing or melodramatic.
Almost without a cohesive storyline--the movie plays out more like a year in the life--but with a plethora of misdeeds that happen to our young heroine, I promise that you will be glued to your seat, hoping that she will not be swallowed up by the greed and manipulation that stardom breeds. 7/10
