Seriously, this girl needs to STFU! She's so hypocritical, coming at a yogurt shop for having OPTIONS and now promoting injections and plastic surgery! GTFO, she's like a new age grifter! I had high hopes for this documentary thinking she's an a**hole for some reason because of something that happened but... NOPE! She's just a terrible person, actor, and singer! We don't care about YOU... we wanted to hear FROM CHILD STARS! I had to shut it off mid way, I couldn't even finish it because I couldn't take the "Demi Lovato Narcissistic Show" anymore. She can try all she wants but we will never forget her punching a dancer in the face because "she was mad", instead of charges she "checks into rehab", not to mention her sibling hopping dating life (trashy), she's seriously the worst! And DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS DEMI SHOW GARBAGE! If you like her, you will love it. If you are looking for a documentary with content and substance, this ain't it!

Some directors like to make themselves a part of the project, much to the detriment of the project. Nas is guilty of making himself part of docs he directs. Demi Lovato apparently does the same. This is a movie about her experience with child stardom, with some comments from other people who experienced similar. That being said, nothing was new in the doc, just rehashed information she previously included in other projects, with one exception: most states, Florida included, don't have Coogan Laws to protect the income of children; similarly, there seem to be zero (or one with Washington State) that protect child internet performers' incomes. Otherwise, the doc is a massive waste of time.

Just got done watching the documentary movie Child Star (2024) and it was a fascinating experience from start to finish. Positives for Child Star (2024): It was interesting and fascinating experience to hear all of these stories from these former child actors. It was also cool to see interactions between people like Demi Lovato, Drew Barrymore, Alyson Stoner, Christina Ricci, Kenan Thompson and Raven-Symone. And finally, this documentary did a fantastic job at showing all of the dangers and struggles that comes with being a star at a young age. Negatives for Child Star (2024): It's going to be difficult for some auidences to see some of their child stars talking about their struggles. Overall, Child Star (2024) is one of the best documentary movies I've seen in a while.

Child Star is an outstanding documentary, and I absolutely loved it! Demi Lovato shines not only as a director but also as a storyteller. While I've enjoyed her previous documentaries, I wasn't sure how she would handle guiding us through the raw and emotional stories of several child stars. Yet, her personal touch makes the film feel both authentic and deeply moving. The interviews with icons like Drew Barrymore and Raven-Symoné are intimate, shedding light on the immense pressures faced by child actors. Demi's vulnerability, paired with her strength, makes this documentary both powerful and inspiring. It's a heartfelt and honest reflection on fame, and I truly recommend it. I hope this is just the start of Demi's directorial career - she truly nailed it with this one!

Famous childstars on average die 14 years earlier and they have a 4 times increased chance of dying by suicide. Those are the grim statistics behind this documentary which gives a detailed insight into the Disney childstar Demi Lovato... whom I have never heard of but apparently she was HUGELY popular. We mostly get to see demi lovato talk to other childstars (Drew Barrymore and Christina Ricci for instance) and the recurring theme is that almost all of them suffered from their huge fame and started to use drugs and alchohol to cope with a life they had no real control over. These childstars are being squeezed out for every penny they can make and the more popular they become the more a product they become up to a point that certain childstars became wall street products which could be sold and bought at the stock exchange! Currently the childstar content is valued at over 500 billion dollars. Incredible to see how these kids are being treated. Money, money and more money is the culprit behind this behaviour towards these kids whose only dream is to become famous, but adults wanna make money of their fame. The way in which money overrules the healthy development of childstars' lives is what this documentary is all about. This documentary starts out unassuming and without the bleak and grim statistics, but have some patience and please watch it till the end, because then you get to see the real damage done to this famous childstars...

I've been a fan of demi since I was a little 7 years old and I'm 23 today. Their documentaries are always so beautifully made but also so heart breaking. I realize now what truly is behind the life of a child actor or singer and basing the documentary on Shirley Temple is also an interesting thing. Shirley was being manipulated and had a hard life on her own and you were looking up to her just like the kids today might be looking up to you, hoping they were famous as well. Hoping they would get the fame, the love, the money but you're here saying "hey, wait a minute. Are you ready for that ?" I'm a big fan of a french tv show, making really young adults start their music career, making them train everyday, sending them on a tour without them being ready for like 75 to 80 shows for 4 months. People thought it was too much, we were seeing them sick and exhausted but they continued to add shows because it was just working so well. But when you said you did that amount of shows in just 3 months I realized how serious this was. I don't really know why but I feel like I need to apologize because yeah, you made my childhood. I've been with you for the last 16 years and now I realize that when I was the happiest, you weren't. You deserve peace demi and I'm so happy to see you having it now. People say you gave up your childhood to give us one. I'm sorry. The artists you met, the children, the activist, the politics. I'll never be the one I was before seeing that documentary. Thank you.

Demi Lovato & Nicola Marsh did an amazing job with this documentary. Demi shows her vulnerability and empathy while talking to these amazing children stars we have all grown up with. Few people are criticizing that this documentary is about Demi and that she took most of the spotlight. Well the answer is yes. This documentary is based on child stars and how they struggled with fame and how it made them who they are today and who better to set such examples than Demi Lovato herself. The documentary is based on Demi's experiences while she compares it to her peers she's interviewing. It shows every single person who participated and their struggles. Demi is the bridge to connect all the stories. I'm extremely proud of Demi and how far she's come.

This film goes into drastic detail about the lives of the adolescents in Hollywood growing up in the light of fame. It sheds light on the struggles and challenges it takes to be apart of this lifestyle. While it also teaches many young adults and children living through this now how to conquer these difficult times. 10/10 worth the watch. Cannot wait for Demetria to direct more films in the upcoming future. This documentary was nonetheless of motivational and educational for many looking to join the industry. It's mind boggling to believe many individuals were struggling behind the scenes with whatever it may be. The industry failed these individuals, and this documentary is essentially aimed towards claiming that back. It's hard to live up to your publicized name expectations, but Demi lovato and the others on this film have all made it work. I thank this entire cast for making my childhood and am so sorry all of you had to live through any of this.

I love love loved this documentary! It's gave such a different insight on child actors and the struggles that they had to go through while going into Demi Lovato own story! Very beautifully done. This is something I would re watch with people and I wish they made it into a show so I could keep watching. Demi Lovato is genuinely such an amazing person and has always wanted to help other people and have their stories be told and this documentary is no different... please please please if you have not watched this just take a few minutes to watch the first 5 mins and I promise you you'll be hooked on and watch the whole thing.

I found the interview mode very right for the content of the film. Demi was perfect, she played the role of interviewer but at the same time she gave us other details about her life. She gave everyone the right space and he also gave us space to enter a kind of group session. I also really appreciated the way she approaches and responds to the children who are present in the film and ask questions, she was really empathetic, not only with the children but also with the others. It really opened my eyes to the reality behind the lives of very famous children and made me realize how harmful success can sometimes be. Great job Demi, highly recommended!
