SHERYL is an intimate story of song and sacrifice by musical icon Sheryl Crow as she navigates an iconic yet arduous musical career battling sexism, depression, cancer, and the price of fame. Told through present-day interviews with Sheryl, behind-the-scenes vérité on the road and in her studio, never before seen archival footage spanning 20 years of touring, and a handful of interviews with close allies Keith Richards, Laura Dern, Joe Walsh, Emmylou Harris, Brandi Carlile, and others. Sheryl's early gift of music and dedication to songwriting set her on an unapologetic path of perfection--which ultimately became both a blessing and a curse to overcome.

New York Times

She’s an engaging, unpretentious and consistently frank docent of her own career, which she assures the viewer is still ongoing, despite the fact that she’s not making albums right now.

Rolling Stone

More than just another one of those authorized-infomercial music docs that are all too prevalent these days, Sheryl (directed by Amy Scott) transforms into an examination of what it took to make it in music, especially for a woman in the pre-#MeToo era.

Epoch Times

Sheryl Crow onstage at Woodstock '94 was the personification of a rock star, although she wasn’t one yet. Her documentary fills in the blanks nicely.

Rated: 3/5

Webster-Kirkwood Times

Granted, this film is from her point of view, but it’s a fascinating portrait of an artist from rural Missouri who went on to become a global superstar because of her storytelling gifts, her muscular musicianship and the way she connected to people.

Rated: B
