“Join me. During these days you will see, with pleasure, what my arts are. I will give you what no man has seen.” The same precept Mephistopheles used to seduce the elderly Faust applies to Sarah Walker, a young actress who will do anything in order to abandon the micro-universe of hipsters and aspiring indie filmmakers she seems to be stuck in. The opportunity arrives, and it’s horrifying and painful, which turns her into someone willing to lay waste to any kind of trace from her past. It would be a mistake to take Starry Eyes as just another score-settling with the dark side of Hollywood –its ruthless portrait of a community of incapable mumblecores, its twist on the myth of the satanic Hollywood, the overwhelming performance by Alex Essoe and a deluded showdown not suitable for sensitive audiences make the film an atypical, frantic, fun experience.
