Leave your thoughts about Childstar.
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Tara ThorneMike Goldbach wrote Childstar in 2004; this is his first feature as writer-director, and it's nimble and full of visual tricks, funny and sexy, yet somehow a suspenseful thriller. |
| Film ScoutsJason GorberMcKeller has crafted a sweet, witty film without employing cliche characterizations and pat plot points. |
| Filmcritic.comNorm SchragerMcKellar's starring turn -- along with a strong final scene -- help him save his own film from the unfortunate crap heap |
| User ReviewKays VCanadian Film at it's best. 3 words to describe Childstar would be Funny,Sad,Beautiful. Don Mckellar made a fantastic film that I cannot describe. Great performances from EVERYONE involved. Mark Rendall who plays the title character is fantastic in this film. His character develops so much in this film. I really reccomend it. |
| User ReviewAshley TA great satire on filmmaking, celebrity culture, and Canadian/American relations. Simultaneously humourous and poignant. Mark Rendall is a rare truly gifted young actor. Great cast all-around. |
| User ReviewCourtney SIt's not perfect, but besides [insert your name here] what is? |
| User ReviewCampbell Kdon mckellar's childstar has the feel of canadian cinema, but goes much further in it's pursuit of the obscene lifestyles of child actors. definitely a dramatic satire that has many laughs, but also the moments were you can see through the exterior of the protagonist. it's such a great film to watch in this, our age of voyeuristic celebrity worshipping. |
| User ReviewHeather MAny movie with Don McKellar is automatically three stars. Throw in a joke about "The Mother and The Whore," and I'm so there. |
| User ReviewPrivate UMeh, it's okay. Don McKellar is pretty awesome. Some parts I just didn't care though. |
| User ReviewPJ EGreat. Plus Jennifer Jason Leigh is in it. |
