Stargirl
An unassuming high schooler finds himself inexplicably drawn to the free-spirited new girl, whose unconventional ways change how they see themselves…and their world.

Stargirl runs out to kiss Leo then retreats to house
Interview of Stargirl on Kevin's show goes horribly wrong
The film's steepest decline occurs when Stargirl's act of compassion during the football game backfires, leading to a disastrous interview and widespread rejection.
Stargirl receives mixed but generally positive reception, with critics praising Grace VanderWaal's sincere performance and the film's heartwarming message about being yourself. However, reviewers criticized the contrived middle section where the school turns against Stargirl, feeling it lacked proper setup and dramatic weight. The film recovers with its musical climax and bittersweet ending that emphasizes lasting impact over temporary popularity.
