Antiheroine

This film, though not formally revolutionary, is the type of defining, delicate portrait that moves beyond the often tiresome trend of music documentaries that simply shower praise on their subjects.

This is a solid biography portrait with enough diaristic candor to compel a relisten to her greatest hits, in life and music.

It’s moments of blunt, borderline-brutal honesty coming directly from the source that make this whole endeavor such a necessary counterpoint to all of the mythology that’s sprung up around Love ... [But t]here are a number of questionable choices that the doc makes in terms of aesthetics.

It’s [Love's] unapologetic, unfiltered candor that makes her a great hang.
