Stargirl's feel-good story hits familiar coming-of-age beats, but self-assured performances and an earnest mission worn proudly make it a tune worth listening to.

2/5
At a time when teen outsiders are having their time in the spotlight, Stargirl feels like a relic, and a prompt for Disney to do a better job at capturing contemporary high-school culture. Go to Full Review
Brad Newsome Sydney Morning Herald 03/25/2020
Stargirl teaches Leo everything and then teaches herself a thing or two herself as an afterthought. It's hard to work out who it's aimed at, unless teenage boys are suddenly turning to Disney for lessons in life and love. Go to Full Review
Tara Brady Irish Times 03/25/2020
3/5
Stargirl, as essayed by 16-year-old Grace VanderWaal, the ukulele-wielding 2016 winner of America's Got Talent, has a puppy-dog earnestness to recommend her. Go to Full Review
Jamie Healy Radio Times 05/09/2024
3/5
VanderWaal charms in her square-peg role, and the musical numbers effectively showcase her singing and strumming skills, with a cover version of Thirteen by cult rockers Big Star lending the safe and chaste coming-of-age story a little indie cred. Go to Full Review
Nicolas Soto But Why Tho? 01/22/2023
Stargirl is a character that only appears in certain films and is able to shine a light on the fact that it’s perfectly okay to be different. Go to Full Review
Joe Lipsett Hazel & Katniss & Harry & Starr Podcast 04/29/2021
1/5
A music video posing as a feel good film, Stargirl - like the source material - inherently misunderstands its own message about non-conformity and inadvertently recreates a tired celebration of the manic pixie dream girl. A YA disaster. Go to Full Review

Eye C @ECinc 3h A magical movie without magic at all. The characters are so real and she seems out of fairy tale. One person can change everything. I like it. See more diogo13 T @Tua_mera Jul 14 O carisma da Grace VanderWaal e a bonita banda sonora acústica são os pontos mais altos deste romance juvenil. O problema é que a narrativa segue todos os clichés possíveis sobre aceitação no liceu, resultando num filme fofo, mas demasiado simples e esquecível. See more Luke W @HyroxBara Jun 18 The book was great, but the movie changed so much up and did so many things wrong. Did not follow the plot at all. Very disappointing, I’m sorry. See more J L @RT85163149 Aug 31 I liked the show. except the ending where he never knows what happens to her. See more zihan z @RT46863747 09/04/2024 Not accurate to the book at all. Very disappointing. Cuts were bad. So was acting. Movie was far too fast paced. Without the background context of the book movie makes no sense. They completely skip over the beginning part? See more Dale R @iromulus9 07/07/2024 A Disney+ original film that is a coming of age story about two teenagers in Arizona that is based on a book by Jerry Spinelli. Grace VanderWaal plays Stargirl and for a singer/songwriter that won America’s Got Talent she does a great job acting. Of course, they utilize Grace’s singing and ukulele skills well during the film. I wasn’t sold on Graham Verchere in the lead role, however I was cheering for the relationship between his and Grace’s character. There are some slow points in the movie that I checked to see how much was left. The ending was worth the wait as the life lesson was appropriately shown. I would recommend this film if you’re in the mood for a teenage coming of age story or are interested in Grace VanderWaal’s career. See more Read all reviews
