Such a Sad Genius

Rating: 10/10 (4 May 2019)

It's hard to listen at times to this magnificent singer without knowing the pain and traumatic experiences that she endured. I liked the comparisons with Judy Garland. Such talent that we all wished for, but a huge weight every day. Still, I wish at some point I could have seen her -perform because, like Garland, the privilege of sitting in an audience and seeing them at their best would have been incredible. I have never heard another singer with such a rich, haunting voice as hers. This bio-pic is so well crafted that we forget for a while that these are actors. There is little fat here and if we stay with it, we can't help but leave the theater with heavy hearts.
