3/5
Onstage the Johnsons perform Mr. Hegarty's agreeably lush, intimate and often melancholy piano-based songs, accompanied by a string section. Go to Full Review

Kira Y 01/26/2020 Very entertained. Was a little confused with the ending but all the theories online made it more interesting See more 01/13/2013 Got the timings wrong so missed the first 20 minutes of this but probably the only downside of that was missing some gorgeous Antony live performance. These performances were interspersed with interviews from the women who perform on stage with Antony. Most interviews weren't especially deep and I don't find someone being transgender immediately makes them more interesting.. Infact I found a few of the women quite dull in their ramblings.. I did recognise one of the women from when I saw Antony in Birmingham and she was fascinating to watch at the time so it was cool finding out about her. And I was emotionally moved to the point of tears every time the camera did settle on a stage performance which thankfully was often. So all of my stars are for Antony's voice really and for such an awesome stage production that I feel so lucky to have caught but not really for how they translated it to a concert film.
