Lucy M This documentary is incredible. Without giving too much away, the way Q and the filmmaker met is magical, and their closeness can be felt throughout the film and lends the film an intimacy rarely seen in documentaries. And then Q narrates her dramatic and colorful life through stories that are at times heartbreaking, at times funny and always moving. with a bare-all style which is refreshing; it makes you realize how much public figures protect their image when being filmed. Q is flawed and fierce and you fall in love with her. Her life story must be heard to be believed. Her music is great and very varied- from rock to house to metal to new wave, all with that powerful voice. Can't wait for this to be on streamers so everyone can see it, I think it will go viral as the world discovers Q. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/25 Full Review Steve C The story is a potentially compelling one: filmmaker and fan of vanished singer, in a one-in-a-million chance, stumbles across said singer in a taxi cab. Singer - who turns out to be an extremely compelling as an interview subject - agrees to be subject of documentary. Sadly, the film fails in the most fundamental way. It's really boring. One could look past the deeply mediocre camera work if it was edited in a coherent way, but it wasn't. We go down one path and then another and another. Some we come back to, others we don't. There's just very little life in it. I was thinking that maybe it was just me until, about two-thirds of the way through, we get a scene with Q and her husband and it just leaps off the screen because it's so alive. For those two minutes, it's great. And then, again, it isn't. Maybe another editor can take a run at it? Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 04/11/25 Full Review Read all reviews
