3 stars (Good Enough) Follows the standard format for a documentary about the life and times of a musical performer(/activist). At only 80 minutes it may not do justice to some areas considering her lengthy career and because she worked with some other greats. ~Tubbs

4 stars (Very Good) Insightful doco on the great gospel & blues singer over 60 years. Good new footage and accurate accounts of the influence of her father "Pops", Dylan, Curtis Mayfield & Stax Records. Includes her visit to dying Levon Helm & great kindness. ~Sandy
