like much of Disney+'s other original fare, Stargirl is family-friendly, with an empowering message that may be worth hearing for viewers of all ages. However, this film's message is wrapped in a rather boring and uninventive coming-of-age story
an irresistible film debut for Grace VanderWaal; Julia Hart, who along with her husband-collaborator Jordan Horowitz re-fashioned "Stargirl" as a Disney+ high school comedy/drama/musical that I believe would have made the late great John Hughes proud
"Stargirl" is a movie of surprising power; it's also a movie of quiet power, one that will sneak up on you and leave you moved. Beautifully photographed, written and performed, it casts its own unique spell and will leave you utterly enchanted
