The plot: Stargirl goes on a journey out of Mica and into a world of music, dreams and possibility.
I was intrigued to see this sequel.
This is a Sequel to Stargirl and it was very good.
Pros: This film managed to tell a different story from the original but uses the same characters. I like the way the relationships are formed throughout this film. The tone and spirit from the first film are carried on into this sequel & I enjoyed the slow burn pacing of this film that didn’t make it feel like a drag.
Cons: Sadly it didn’t show me more of the making of their project and how it would have been put together, and nothing else.
