![]() Stargirl doesn't care what other people think. Leo ( Graham Verchere), who opens the film with a Voiceover narration giving us his backstory, sees Stargirl across a crowded football field, dressed like a kooky character from a 1970s movie played by Barbra Streisand or Diane Keaton. Where, in an isolation tank or a bomb shelter, a la Brendan Fraser in "Blast from the Past"? It's as though she's descended from the sky. She's a local girl, but nobody knows her because she was homeschooled. ![]() Stargirl, played by "America's Got Talent" winner and self-created singer-songwriter phenom Grace VanderWaal, shows up at an Arizona high school from seemingly out of nowhere. Whether or not you can tolerate all this manic pixie dream girl-ness will be a deciding factor in how you respond to "Stargirl," a film adaptation directed by Julia Hart of Jerry Spinelli's 2000 YA novel. ![]()
