Curse of the Sunset Starlet (2013)
A Truly Touching Film
"Curse of the Sunset Starlet" is a touching film about a dying mother and her daughter who can't forgive her for choosing her career as a B-horror film starlet. The film deals with themes of forgiveness, rebirth, and family unity. What separates "Curse of the Sunset Starlet" from other shorts is its ability to engage the audience from the first moments of the film. Sally Kirkland's performance is truly compelling. It's wonderful to see an actress at this age still giving it her all. The dynamic between Kirkland and Wilhoite is both honest and heartbreaking. It's devastating to watch as they pick up the pieces with so little time left to traverse the decades spent apart. But as the pieces come together, we are reminded that it's never too late to seek redemption, and it's never too late to forgive.
