Lewis Pullman On Filling In Blanks For His Character In The Starling Girl

After successfully making the rounds on the festival circuit, The Starling Girl has finally arrived in theaters to much critical acclaim. Writer and director Laurel Parmet’s feature film debut is an exploration of danger and desire in a repressed religious community, a story that takes elements from her own life and her research. At the center of the thoughtful tale is teenage Jem Starling (Eliza Scanlen, Little Women), whose highly structured life is upended when she falls in love for the first time.
