Starlet explores the unlikely friendship between 2 women living in San Fernando Valley: Jane (Dree Hemingway in her first leading role), an aimless 21 year old aspiring actress, and Sadie (Besedka Johnson), an 85 year old widow. While Jane spends her days getting high with her dysfunctional roommates, Sadie passes her time alone, often at the local bingo parlor. After their worlds collide at a yard sale, a tenuous but tender relationship starts to emerge between the two, as Jane protects a potentially volatile secret. Director Sean Baker captures the rhythms of everyday life with a rare authenticity in this provocative, unpredictable, and surprisingly sweet story of human connection.
