www.stellavelon.com/ | THE CRITIC | H1 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Stella Velon’s The Critic was named best short [at the Method Fest].” — Gregg Kilday | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Intertwining external pressures with internal angst and guilt, The Critic is a powerful short film loaded with exceptional dialogue… For me, a jaded male critic, I would still say this is one of the best leading performances of the year so far.” — Chris Olson | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “‘The Critic’ remains Stella Velon’s show. From her writing & direction to acting, she has done it with such finesse, that it’s a pity that we can’t rate her any higher.” — Nimisha Menon | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “She took the world she knew and wasn’t afraid to call out the aspects that people don’t talk about with being an actor. Her triple threat efforts worked out successfully, as ‘The Critic’ has been praised for its raw look at the industry and self-criticism.” — Frankie Stein | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Stella Velon’s Star Performance in “The Critic” Recognized with a 2020 Webby Awards Nomination” — Jennifer Ross | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “The Critic is well written, stunningly shot with a beautifully observed performance at its centre. As a short film it’s affecting, and a brilliant showcase for Velon, who is clearly incredibly talented, and one to watch out for.” — Nick Bartlett | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Newcomer Stella Velon nominated for the 2020 Annual Webby Awards. Other celebs include Emily Hampshire, Post Malone, and Trevor Noah” — Lisa Baker | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Stella Velon’s ‘The Critic’, a poignant, insightful look into the soul of an actress, with the measured performance of Velon… is an absolutely stunning visual and a treat to the cerebral folk and cinephiles alike! | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | The editor’s pick this year singularly, unabashedly falls for Stella Velon’s ‘The Critic’, worth every minute of the short! Indie Shorts Mag wishes Stella Velon the best for her future projects and thanks her for shining such pearls of genius upon us this year!” — Nimisha Menon | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “A quietly fierce, dramatically potent, and heartbreakingly palpable exercise in what could very well be one of the most impactful inward looks at the realities found within the celebrity mindset, writer/director/actress Stella Velon’s 15-minute indie short film [The Critic] profoundly places the viewer right into the core of an interview gone wrong. | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | Velon brings charm, an undeniably innocent allure, and a deeply grounded sense of vulnerability in her role as the actress, a fresh face on the scene who’s coming off a recent awards win for a performance… a gorgeous performance without question.” — Kirk Fernwood | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “[Velon] grabs you from the start, establishes an emotional connection with the audience, and then straps you in on an emotional roller coaster ride.” — Alan Ng | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “The heart and soul of the film is unquestionably Velon, who manages to convince as both a confident, award-winning actress and as a young woman with a fragile façade… It's powerful, disturbing actually, to watch Velon's entire being shift throughout the interview—her language, her facial expressions, and her body language all revealing every little transition in subject and tone. | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | [The Critic] is Velon's baby and what an amazing baby it is to behold.” — Richard Propes | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Velon has written and produced a powerful indie… | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | [The Critic] deals with heavy material, and, from its start, Velon (who also stars in the film as the actress) positions herself as a serious filmmaker… the pain – both psychological and physical – is palpable, and Velon (through her direction and acting) makes us feel it.” — Mark Ziobro | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “Stella Velon proves to be a triple threat in her directorial debut, ‘The Critic’… Her performance as a talented but uncertain actress is exquisite in creating psychological mystery… The script is a powerful foundation which is intensified tenfold by the performances of the protagonists. Stella Velon’s debut film, ‘The Critic’ is hopefully the start of many to come!” — Olivia Ballington | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “The standout offering of the block is 'The Critic', written, directed by and starring Stella Velon. Velon ably carries the film. Her wealth of expressions do far more work than any dialogue could, admirable for anyone directing themselves. Understanding the form and purpose of a short story is just as important as screencraft and 'The Critic' succeeds on all fronts.” — Sophie London | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “look no further than The Critic for a first-rate example of short screen storytelling. Deftly capitalizing on a simple premise, with a tension-crackling script that is always surprising, topped with a compelling central performance, The Critic showcases a major talent in the world of short film.” — Lawrence Bennie | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “The subdued, neo-noir style combined with a dash of Hitchcockian threat and a sharp twist, creates a short but punchy little number… | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | Stella Velon carries [The Critic] with such vulnerable aplomb that you aren’t sure whether she’s acting, projecting, or scratching the fickle skin of Hollywood.” — Billy Reynard-Bowness | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/ | “The Critic plays out as an intriguing look at a compelling character, showcasing a dark and daring study full of different complexities.This is 100% a pure character study that shares similar narrative threads from previous films, such as Whiplash (2014).The dialogue of the interview is complex, yet it’s written to near perfection.The film’s perfect title captures what the film is really about, without spoiling too much. On that note, it gets its messages across quite solidly. I cannot deny that this is an important film… Its depiction of celebrity status is far more compelling and thought-provoking than any material I have ever come across.” — Sam Edwards | H2 |

www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | WRITER/DIRECTOR | H1 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | THE CRITIC (Writer/Director) | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “Stories about Hollywood notoriety and rags-to-riches are ten a penny and often the characters are so far removed from the audience’s own environment that few of the themes hit home with any real impact. However, in The Critic, the deeply personal approach that Velon takes and the choice to use a single male interviewer makes this a particularly poignant piece of cinema in the current social climate. Intertwining external pressures with internal angst and guilt, The Critic is a powerful short film loaded with exceptional dialogue… and packed with substantial emotional heft” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “For films that usually offer a kaleidoscopic vision into the film industry, ‘The Critic’ uses a singular lens to focus on the work, profession and personal space of the people involved in the field, all through the eyes of an actress. ‘The Critic’ is an absolutely stunning visual and a treat to the cerebral folk and cinephiles alike! The editor’s pick this year singularly, unabashedly falls for Stella Velon’s ‘The Critic’, worth every minute of the short! Indie Shorts Mag wishes Stella Velon the best for her future projects and thanks her for shining such pearls of genius upon us this year!” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “Velon... grabs you from the start, establishes an emotional connection with the audience, and then straps you in on an emotional roller coaster ride.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “Velon’s direction is exceptional… At a time of #Metoo & #Timesup, ‘The Critic’ remains an honest dissection of what it takes to be a film star and offers a peek-a-boo into that galaxy which we all find so alluring.”⧁The Critic became “the first short to receive 5 stars on IndieShortsMag.com” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “A quietly fierce, dramatically potent, and heartbreakingly palpable exercise in what could very well be one of the most impactful inward looks at the realities found within the celebrity mindset, writer/director/actress Stella Velon’s 15-minute indie short film profoundly places the viewer right into the core of an interview gone wrong. Steeped in emotionally-charged gravitas throughout... The Critic is a sublime piece of indie film magic.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “writer/director Stella Velon’s emotionally involving and thought-provoking short film The Critic… is nearly instantly engaging and a remarkably poignant story that somehow manages to travel a broad emotional spectrum while delivering a complete story within its modest 15-minute running time... Mostly, however, this is Velon’s baby and what an amazing baby it is to behold.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “The film deals with heavy material, and, from its start, Velon positions herself as a serious filmmaker. Its opening is cinematic beauty... What stands out about “The Critic” is its production value and aim, which are both pristine in their execution. The film is ambitious and wants us to follow it along its progression... You’re left with the distinct impression of watching a film... Velon has written and produced a powerful indie here, and I’m eager to see what she does with her next production.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “Stella Velon proves to be a triple threat in her directorial debut, ‘The Critic’ which she also wrote and starred in.... Velon’s artistic choices are excellent, especially with regards to the character of the Interviewer (Alan Smyth).... Velon has created a wonderful illusion of reality and deceit that encompasses real issues in modern society. The script is a powerful foundation that is intensified tenfold by the performances of the protagonists. Stella Velon’s debut film, ‘The Critic’ is hopefully the start of many to come!” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “It’s a beautifully shot film, with some inventive camerawork and exceptional use of lighting. It feels incredibly sophisticated and mature for a short film. It’s even more impressive given the very limited location, and director Stella Velon still manages to find one interesting shot after another.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “The standout offering of the block is 'The Critic'… Understanding the form and purpose of a short story is just as important as screencraft and ‘The Critic’ succeeds on all fronts.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/filmmaker | “A memorable directorial debut from writer and star Stella Velon, The Critic is an intriguing, thought-provoking and, ultimately, powerful psychological drama which spins a twisting tale from a familiar format — the celebrity interview. Masterfully subverting our expectations throughout, Velon unpicks the insecurities, paradoxes and façade behind the movie star image in a gripping 14 minutes of simmering tension. Budding film makers need to look no further than The Critic for a first-rate example of short screen storytelling. Deftly capitalizing on a simple premise, with a tension-crackling script that is always surprising, topped with a compelling central performance, The Critic showcases a major talent in the world of short film.” | H2 |

www.stellavelon.com/actress | BEHIND THE SCENES | H1 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “one of the most outstanding young actors I’ve worked with” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “…a powerhouse performance. Velon is incredible in this role she wrote and is able to direct herself through a wonderful selection of intense and compelling scenes with skill… Her character's experience… is so entrancing in its brutality and should resonate with a large amount of viewers. For me, a jaded male critic, I would still say this is one of the best leading performances of the year so far.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Velon outshines everything in the film! Her performance, be it her body language or the nuanced expressions or even something seemingly insignificant as the posture are so sharp that it’s hard not to be affected.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “The central performance from Velon herself is incredibly layered, as her insecurities and vulnerabilities rising to the surface with every probing question. This is even more commendable as she’s essentially the only actor on-screen for the duration of the film.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Stella Velon’s ‘The Critic’, a poignant, insightful look into the soul of an actress, with the measured performance of Velon is a 14:55 minutes long film that gently peels off the veneer of glamour.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Velon brings charm, an undeniably innocent allure, and a deeply grounded sense of vulnerability in her role as the actress, a fresh face on the scene who’s coming off a recent awards win for a performance… Velon just makes you experience every little iota of joy, then initial uneasiness, then full-out anger and panic the character goes through to such a stirring degree, a gorgeous performance without question.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Velon’s performance is excellent and poignant... She grabs you from the start, establishes an emotional connection with the audience, and then straps you in on an emotional roller coaster ride.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “I was just recently reading an interview that Will Ferrell conducted with acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix, whose resistance to media coverage is well known and whose every response reveals both his strengths and his vulnerabilities. It was a powerful interview, simultaneously simple yet layered in emotional complexities. The same is true here, Velon's presence appears to be one of strength and confidence only hours after having picked up a major acting prize yet that confidence begins to tatter with each subsequent question as the questions transition from probing to penetrating to badgering to downright bullying. It's powerful, disturbing actually, to watch Velon's entire being shift throughout the interview - her language, her facial expressions, and her body language all revealing every little transition in subject and tone.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “a scene with… Velon as she sits slumped on the ground, questioning wether to relapse into drug and alcohol use is the film’s most powerful. It requires a terrific physical performance of tears and pain from Velon, and she delivers… the pain – both psychological and physical – is palpable, and Velon (through her direction and acting) makes us feel it.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Her performance as a talented but uncertain actress is exquisite in creating psychological mystery… The script is a powerful foundation which is intensified tenfold by the performances of the protagonists.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Velon ably carries the film. Her wealth of expressions do far more work than any dialogue could, admirable for anyone directing themselves.” | H2 |
www.stellavelon.com/actress | “Velon adeptly conveys an unsettling dissection of the inevitable conflicts behind star power as she convincingly shifts from cool assurance to increasing vulnerability whilst her initially disarming guest swiftly turns on the heat.” | H2 |
