'The Starling Girl,' from first-time director Laurel Parmet, is an intriguing and painful deconstruction of faith, love, and self-worth. Our Sundance2023 review:
One would think that, by now, coming-of-age films would have become a genre that’s been done to death — a dead horse whipped over and over again until there’s nothing left but sinew and bone. It’s a subgenre that fits under every umbrella in film, whether the protagonists are the so-called Chosen One or just a teenager struggling to survive high school.

Her pain at being confined is electric, less powerhouse, and more fork-stuck-in-a-light-socket as she wails in private, disguised by the sound of a shower or the dead of night.
