Audience Reviews for The Hour of the Star

Sep 14, 2017

Centered on a most singular heroine and sustained on impeccable performances, this is an excellent character study that understands our innate need for affection and can be incredibly funny in the sharp, intelligent way that it exposes how pathetic people can be.
