Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

It has its good points (rare interview recordings, access to the artist’s journals) and a few rock-doc cliches (animated song sequences)...

Rated: 3/4

Wall Street Journal

While it contains little for the devoted in the way of outright revelations, it’s an affecting film around which admirers and newcomers alike can gather to bask in the unique beauty of her work.

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

A niche doc about a songwriter that I didn't know at all... [The interviewees] have a lot of interesting things to say.

Does what the best music documentaries do: it captures a voice, conveyed not only in her music but the wisdom of the narration drawn from her interviews.

Rated: 80/100

Cinemalogue

We’ve seen plenty of stories about tortured addicts in the music business, but this documentary about the obscure 1970s folk singer finds its rhythm by emphasizing the specifics of its mercurial subject’s life and legacy.
