Delayed Reaction: Starlet

The Pitch:A dissatisfied pornstar finds $10,000 in something she buys at a yard sale and feels guilty.

What Took Me So Long: I don't think this ever made it near me in theaters (not that I'd've seen it there). If not from a drunken stupor, I probably wouldn't've watched this for several more months.

Why I Saw It: This is a depressing little movie. I din't end up with an affection for any of the characters, really, which I believe was a lot of the intent. Dree Hemmingway is good in this. I don't recall seeing her in anything before this but she carries the movie effectively. I've probably seen Besedka Johnson before but I don't recall when. She's good too.

Why I Wish I Hadn't: I don't get the point of the movie. It's one of those "life sucks" indie movies that I have no desire to be around. It was well made and I'm sure it has a keen point of view and themes, motifs. All that stuff. I just wasn't at all interested in what it had to say.

Verdict (?): Weakly Don't Recommend
