Starlet

Starlet, as a drama, primarily evokes strong **empathy** for its two central, disparate characters, Jane and Sadie, as their unlikely cross-generational friendship develops. A significant sense of **sadness** and **melancholy** permeates the film, reflecting Sadie's solitary existence and the raw, naturalistic portrayal of Jane's dysfunctional life. The audience experiences **guilt** alongside Jane as she grapples with her discovery of the hidden money, driving much of the initial plot. As secrets unfold, **curiosity** and a degree of **anxiety** build, while the surprisingly sweet and authentic bond formed between the women fosters **inspiration** and a growing sense of **love** and **hope**.
