“STARLET (dir. Sean Baker) When 21 year old Jane discovers $10,000 in cash stuffed in a thermos that she bought at an old womanu0026#39;s yard sale, she tries to do the right thing and return the money. However, the old woman didnu0026#39;t know about the money (her long dead husband might have hidden the cash), so Jane befriends elderly Sadie in order to pay off the karmic debt. Because Janeu0026#39;s unusual occupation is not revealed until the film is almost half over, her illicit employment does not affect the natural relationship that grows between the two woman. A fine Independent film, and Dree Hemingway (Jane) and Besedka Johnson (Sadie) deliver exception performances. It must be mentioned that Janeu0026#39;s pet Chihuahua in the film is powerfully cute! Worth A Look.”
