The Starling Girl (2023) coming-of-age story starring Eliza Scanlen

[BluBonnet]

Heard a lot of good things after it played Sundance and was not disappointed. Eliza Scanlen is so good here, I hope they haven't forgotten about her come Oscar time.

It’s Bleecker, so you know they will. I am looking forward to checking this out once it hits PVOD; I highly doubt we will get this locally.

Definitely worth checking out!

They forgot her for Babyteeth, they'll unfortunately do the same with The Starling Girl

The Starling Girl is a film that deserves more recognition. It left a lasting impact on me after watching it in a cinema last May. Eliza Scanlen's performance is exceptional. Her portrayal not only captivates the audience but also showcases her versatility as an actress. It was the first time she impressed me, and now I can confidently say that I am officially a fan. Lewis Pullman also delivers a standout performance alongside her. The combination of their acting skills, the sensitive storytelling by writer/director Laurel Parmet, and the beautiful cinematography make The Starling Girl a must-see film that should not be overlooked. I highly recommend seeking out this criminally under-seen gem. It's one of the year's finest.

I would have bought a physical copy of this the day it hit physical media if it had gotten a Blu-ray release. I refuse to buy a DVD. I won't be surprised if one day this is part of the Criterion Collection. I will buy it when the format is upgraded.
