Avery R Donna Summer was amazing and I can’t wait to see this movie! She will forever and always be the Queen of Disco! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/11/24 Full Review Ashley H Love to Love, Donna Summer is a disappointing film. It is about the singer, Donna Summer. I thought the documentary was disjointed and not put together well. I would not recommend it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/10/23 Full Review James Michael H If you love Donna Summer and as I do, skip this documentary. It's structured terribly and fails to capture her magic. She deserved so much more and better. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 08/24/23 Full Review Alan W Co-directed by one of her daughters and co-produced with Summer's husband, HBO Max's documentary on yet another female icon of our times unsurprisingly doesn't scratch the surface much. The story of Donna Summer's humble beginnings which eventually lead to international fame is duly presented here, as are her struggles with her record company and balancing work with motherhood. There are some insights into her fears and insecurities and the most revealing it gets is mentioning the sexual abuse and domestic violence which befall her with various relationships in her life. But like her difficulty in reconciling her faith with her pulsating and overtly sexy music and her gay following, all these issues were addressed but hardly discussed in any real depth. Despite the unevenness of quality of some of the audio and visual excerpts they've unearthed from her archive, access to these rare and unseen/unheard home video footage and outtakes is this film's biggest selling point. Otherwise, how would we know Summer has such a silly sense of humour and that she was once in a German production of Hair? Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/23 Full Review Shelley H Like that it included her music at different points in her life and the evolution. It shared information and insights about her story we never knew, while seeming to allow her and her family to maintain a certain amount of privacy - which we actually prefer. Nicely done. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/14/23 Full Review Steve J This documentary barely scratched the surface of the true icon Donna Summer is. It's fragmented and not in any chronological order. After the Casablanca years they mention one album on the Geffen label. And no other albums or songs are mentioned or heard. She had many amazing albums that were released after the Casablanca years . I love Donna Summer, but this documentary disappoints.
