Example: She got clean. Her dad said she should go on a "little" tour. She didn't want to go. She was taken to the airport "asleep" a.k.a. unconscious. Falls apart. Starts drinking heavily. Booed off the stage. It's quite a story, and it's all told with archival footage, home movies, TV and concert appearances.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-22436549352753928422015-12-10T18:31:15.683-05:002015-12-10T18:31:15.683-05:00Her flame burned too bright.

I mean, obviously it's about way more than her music, but sometimes documentaries can lean on connecting the audience with the subject via the subject's talent. Does that make sense? Like, though it wasn't a doc, the movie Ray would have been a tough sit if you didn't like Ray Charles's music.Pickleopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13772003052474877906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-78636684398148069112015-12-10T04:01:08.761-05:002015-12-10T04:01:08.761-05:00Hi Janie - I saw this movie a few months ago ... a...Hi Janie - I saw this movie a few months ago ... and thought it was incredibly moving .. and taught me a few things about drugs, fathers, life under someone's thumb, fame, alcohol.<br /><br />It's not an easy film to watch - her music is extraordinary - but such a great loss to the world of musical talent. <br /><br />Definitely unusual - but so well worth watching and appreciating.<br /><br />Sad, so sad ... thanks so much for posting the review ..cheers HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.com
