- Synopsis
- Billie Frank is a shy, young mixed-race girl who is sent away by her alcoholic mother at a very early age. At an orphanage, she befriends Louise and Roxanne. Flash forward to 1983. Billie and her friends are spotted by a record producer, Timothy Walker, who wants them to sing backup for his latest pop-music discovery. But when super DJ Dice hears Billie's incredible voice, he makes a shady deal with Timothy to get her out of that dead-end situation. Soon, Billie and Dice are making hits inside the studio, and falling in love outside of it. Eventually, the pressure of her newfound celebrity puts too heavy a strain on Billie, forcing her to decide what it is she really wants from Dice, and what she wants for herself.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Glitter' is the week's only major Hollywood release, and it offers considerable escapist entertainment while hitting an affirmative note."
-
"This is the worst performance by a pop star in a dramatic role since Madonna suited up for 'Shanghai Surprise.'"
-
"Above all, the film is lacking in joy. It never seems like it's fun to be Billie Frank."
-
"We don't have much space to tell you about 'Glitter', so we'll be blunt. This star vehicle for singer Mariah Carey is primarily a showcase for her breasts"
-
"'Glitter' deserves yet another title: 'A Star Is Dull.'"
