      Reception


      Reviewers have compared Superstar unfavourably to Milani's previous films, with Chicago Reader reviewer J R Jones stating "Milani is best known for films exposing the plight of women in the Islamic republic [...] Any such themes are downplayed in this sentimental story", and in the Los Angeles Times, Gary Goldstein says that "Tahmineh Milani is considered one of Iran's most accomplished filmmakers, but you wouldn't necessarily glean that from her disappointing drama: Superstar".
      However, LA Weekly reviewer Tim Grierson notes that "at least Superstar exhibits a tender, intelligent sweetness, which helps to temper the utter conventionality and more melodramatic moments".
