5/5
It is incredibly romantic, and highlights all the ways in which female friendships are intimate, life-affirming and devastating. Go to Full Review Joel Keller Decider 11/12/2024
As soapy as Born For The Spotlight is, it has an amiable charm that comes from the friendship between its leads and the chemistry that comes with it. Go to Full Review Archi Sengupta LeisureByte.com 11/07/2024

Just4fun! J @RT96637311 01/06/2025 很高兴在24年底25年初看了这样一部台湾电影。看到很多《华灯初上》的演员，看到感人的姐妹情，看到友谊的欢聚与离散，感受到人生的温暖与遗憾。这是一部女性为主角的作品，让人倍感珍惜，男导演只会甩脸走人让人体会了男人的无能，两位女主角的和解、陪伴让人羡慕，想起了自己的几位好友。电视剧开始钟欣凌开车送挨骂试戏的drama和电影最后钟欣凌宇爱玛的相视一笑形成一个很美的呼应。虽说许多桥段都有情节剧和用力过度的倾向，少了现实主义的抓地感，但瑕不掩瑜，流氓的最后一集哭戏反而较为自然。剧集里《亲爱的导演》，虽然只有一些片段，但灯光和剪辑表现力十足。 See more Read all reviews
