“I like how humanized Stargirl is in the movie,” Grace said. “I think she’s a little more fairytale feeling in the book, and the movie displays her mistakes and how she isn’t perfect. Even if you’re someone as cool and admirable as Stargirl, you’re still going to make stupid mistakes and you’re still going to have to learn from them.”

She continued, “The movie also explains how everything in life has consequences, even the things that you may think are good.”

“A lot of high school movies, it’s like 20-year-olds playing [young],” Grace added. “But I like that [Stargirl didn’t do that] because I think a lot of kids look at these 20-year-olds who are supposed to be 16 and then wonder why they don’t look like that. And it’s because you’re not 20. I think it’s really good for children to see someone their age who looks [their age]. Same for the [male actors] too, it’s not just girls. Boys are looking at these grown men who are fully developed. Leo is a little scrawny, he’s a teenager.”
