Review of Star 80 (1983) by Matt H — 23 Sep 2014
Eric Roberts gives a really good performance, as does Mariel Hemingway. Interesting to see it from the view of the boyfriend instead of from Dorothy. The recent movie Lovelace seems to have been heavily influences by this movie, and another review on this site calling Star 80 "Bob Fosse's Boogie Nights" is also an apt description.
The move to replace Peter Bogdonovich with a fictional character was the right choice at the time, but it'd be a better movie now to have the real director back as a character.
