Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com By film's end the Diaz family feels fractured, stressed, and destined for eventual separation. Rated: 2.0/4.0 Sep 19, 2020 Full Review Corey Hall Metro Times (Detroit, MI) Pre-teen rapper with a knee-bending adult world on her shoulders Rated: B+ Jul 21, 2010 Full Review Jennifer Merin About.com What's most interesting about this documentary is the perspective it adds to our view of contemporary American youth, and our society's astonishing adulation of adolescent fame and wealth.

Audience Member Saw the premiere and an after-show with some of the cast. Sure it was interesting, and an original story. Don't know if I would've been quite so taken and found it so believable, though, if it weren't for the see-the-cast-on-stage after. So the movie on its own -- I'd say 4 stars. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member a heart felt documentary of female rapper pstar. I enjoyed watching it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member she can belt it out. but her father is crazy. I did like a few of her songs. But her name Pstar. Every time they called her that I was think "porn star" not the vision you want with a then 9 year old. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member this film was @ last year's Tribeca Film Fest and I missed it so was crazy excited to catch a last screen show; she was even there for Q&A at the end!! it's a documentary about a 9yo girl who's a rapper and the story followed her trials and tribulations...of being a young star with a dream... her father's dream, her relationship with her dad, her drug addicted mom, her love and natural talent for music... she's fearless and I'm inspired! try to catch it if you can > http://www.pstarrising.com/ Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Fairly interesting documentary. Nothing remarkable about a medicore talented kid and her wanting fame. I spent the entire movie hating the father. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
