5 stars (Exceptional) Remarkable film made by enthusiasts free of mainstream studios. Terrific rare footage integrated with fine original music. A fascinating & tragic story of a fiercely independent woman remembered for her stunning looks rather than her brilliant mind. ~Sandy
4 stars (Very Good) Conventional in style but eye-opening in content, this makes a strong case for the now little-remembered star to be considered one of the most important innovators of the 20th century. ~Pearce
