Josiah Teal Film Threat Star Without a Star is an excellent examination of the oft-overlooked side of Hollywood’s Golden Age. The film pays homage to Moore’s legacy, showcasing her outstanding performance... and her struggle to succeed in a business unwilling to accept her. Rated: 8/10 Dec 21, 2022 Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru An illuminating and genuinely heartfelt tribute to Juanita Moore, a Hollywood actress who deserves to be more widely recognized as an icon. Dec 16, 2022 Full Review Kenneth R. Morefield 1More Film Blog It is a film that conspicuously, but fairly addresses historical racism in Hollywood and, subsequently, America. Rated: 2.5/4 Dec 14, 2022 Full Review Tynan Yanaga Film Inquiry A Star Without a Star comes off as the epitome of a labor of love many years in the making. What it lacks in pristine production values, it makes up for with the sheer intimacy established with its subject matter. Nov 26, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
