Stars from the French movie finally to confront awful lies (7)

'stars from the french' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'movie finally to confront awful lies' is the wordplay.
'finally' indicates one should take the final letters.
'to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'confront' becomes 'to' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'awful' is an anagram indicator.
The last letter of 'movie' is 'e'.
'lies' is an anagram of 'iles'.
'e'+'to'+'iles'='ETOILES'

Can you help me to learn more?
