"Starlet" is achingly sad, shrewdly funny, and shockingly honest.

Their friendship goes nowhere you might expect - Sadie doesn't teach Jane any hard-won life lessons, and Jane doesn't try to rekindle Sadie's lost youth. There are no montages here.

Starlet sneaks up on you.

When the film has to get into more depth regarding its characters futures and pasts, it falters a bit but there's still a lot to like here.

Where it counts, "Starlet" ... allows its characters room to maneuver within the potential cliches.

Baker effectively juxtaposes two vastly different worlds, though he never makes the case that either is as significant as the gauzy visuals suggest.

Either avoids or transcends nearly every cliché we've come to associate with American independent film.

The film itself deserves praise for its portraits of these two women and the different worlds they inhabit.

No amount of strong acting, however, can entirely compensate for the dramatic conveniences or every shrill appearance by Jane's cartoonishly despicable roommates.

This is confident, engrossing storytelling, and the actors are terrific.

The plotline is unpromising - young porn actress befriends crotchety old lady - and the setup is underwhelming. But stick with "Starlet," and you'll reap unexpected rewards.
