Directed by Theodore Melfi and written by Matt Harris, The Starling first premiered at the 2021 Toronto International Film Festival on September 12, 2021, before getting released on Netflix twelve days later. Despite the distractions of a script that seems based on a Buzzfeed list of вЂњTen Things Only '90s Kids Will KnowвЂќ and characters who have more attributes than personalities, those moments of the girls enjoying their friendship have an appealing freshness that almost matches the quality of the bangers on the soundtrack.The 2021 comedy-drama film The StarlingВ takes its audience on an emotional journey of grief, love, and music - here's a guide to every song on the soundtrack. The girls' developing friendship is theВ best part of the film, and includes a delightful expedition to a place mentioned on the mixtape list, along withВ the creation of their own music, as inspired by songs on the tape. The movie goes to the trouble of telling us about their families, like EllenвЂ™s ultra-strict mother and pesky younger brother and NickyвЂ™s father, who encourages her to fight with her older brother and crows when she beats him with a punch that would not be approved by the Marquess of Queensberry. The search for the songs is of less interest than the friends Beverly makes along the way, like Ellen ( Audrey Hsieh) and a tough, hostile girl named Nicky ( Olga Petsa). She will also have to find more, in the order they appeared on the mixtape, including вЂњLinda LindaвЂќ by the Blue Hearts, вЂњI Got a RightвЂќ by the Stooges, and вЂњTeacherвЂ™s PetвЂќ by The Quick. вЂњItвЂ™s a message from the maker.вЂќ So, he records for her the first song on the list, вЂњGetting Nowhere Fast,вЂќ by Girls at Our Best. But he agrees to put the first song on tape for her and he tells her that on a mixtape the order of songs is crucial, even the time between them and whether they fade in and out. вЂњA DeLorean with a flux capacitor.вЂќ She would need a car that travels through time to find cassette tapes. He peers out the window, and she asks what he's looking for. The local vintage records store is run by a grouchy guy who says his name is Anti ( Nick Thune), as in anti-everything and everyone. She hopes listening to the songs will make her feel connected to the people who were just a few years older than she is now when she was born. And so, she goes on a journey to track down the songs on the mixtape so she can learn something about her parents. Beverly is a loner, often bullied at school.Д«everly finds her parentsвЂ™ mixtape labeled вЂњLove Riot,вЂќ but the tape is tangled and cannot be played. Gail does not want to talk about her daughter and she is both distracted, working extra shifts to make money, and over-protective, fearful that she could lose Beverly the way she lost Kim.

BeverlyвЂ™s mother Kim was just 16 when she was born. They are both still feeling the loss of BeverlyвЂ™s parents who died in a car accident when she was two years old. Beverly Moody ( Gemma Brooke Allen), a precocious middle-schooler, lives with her grandmother, Gail ('Modern Family''s Julie Bowen), a USPS mail carrier.
