Nearly every step of the way, Stargirl finds just the right notes to find the right side of the line between precious and lovely, between arbitrary and plausible, between serendipitous and condescendingly magical.
Hart guides the actions with a sensitive and joyous hand, luxuriating in the palette of Arizona’s arid desert and gaping badlands.

This is a must see for fans of classic Disney family movies as well as those that enjoy a good coming of age movie with a lesson that everyone can learn from, whether you are old or young. As for the actress playing the title character, Grace VanderWaal is the real deal. This may be her first acting role, but you wouldn't know it. She's a real life Stargirl and does Jerry Spinelli's beloved character justice.

This was such a beautiful movie, so refreshing, helps one see peace and simplicity after soo long. this movie is like a feather on your head simply alleviating all your tensions stress with such soft and comforting voice of Grace Vanderwall and only leaving behind such breathtaking visuals dialogues and a desire to be more, to not be ordinary because you're just not it. I really loved the part when Leo got the ties on his birthdays and said "whoever they were from they made sure for a moment that I didn't forget who I was". despite the ratings of this movie on rotten tomatoes or IMDB, I really recommend you to watch it at least once

While it suffers from a rocky beginning with burdensome amounts of kook and quirk, the unfolding spell it subtly casts holds profundity and wisdom.
Stargirl was published twenty years ago, and its age occasionally shows in this adaptation; some of the story beats and character qualities (particularly those of the rather precious title character) have congealed into cliché. But Hart (who wrote the screenplay with Kristin Hahn and Jordan Horowitz) is such an enchanting filmmaker, her storytelling style so warm and welcoming, that those concerns fade.
The plot about being true to yourself is still relevant, but Stargirl addresses it at a surface level, without ever really going beyond the main character’s mildly quirky aesthetic.
It comes across like yet another casualty in the long line of stories about men having their eyes opened by their angelic girlfriends.
Disney's Stargirl is a mediocre teen movie about individuality and growing up, lacking the magic to make this manic pixie dream girl story work.
[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

I wrote a review for this on Screen Queens, but overall just something average to pass the time, not really anything new for the genre

Particularly failed weapon of mass distraction, cute the cover of "Be True to Your School" (The Beach Boys, 1963).
