cloying sincerity
6 January 2024
Stargirl Caraway (Grace VanderWaal) is headed to L. A. with her mother (Judy Greer). She continues her Hollywood music dream. Mr. Mitchell (Judd Hirsch) is the landlord. Stargirl befriends a couple of guys and they go to a bar for her to sing. She spots Roxanne Martel (Uma Thurman) drinking in a corner. She has hero worship for the former singer.

This is the sequel to Stargirl (2020). While I accepted the sweet sincerity of the first movie, this is becoming too much. A lot more can be excused with a child actor. Her genuine wholesomeness comes off sometimes as one dimensional acting. It leaves the movie without depth. I don't want to be too mean. That would be like kicking a puppy. Maybe she should have a good foil acting against her.
