Even had Linda Perry only given us What's Up? – the anthemic megahit she wrote and belted out when fronting one album-wonder 4 Non Blondes – her dykon status would still have been assured. But add to that her work as writer and producer of Pink’s Get the Party Started and Christina Aguilera’s Beautiful, and her work with Dolly Parton on the Dumplin' soundtrack, and… well, now we’re only just getting started. Don Hardy’s gripping documentary grants us unprecedentedly candid access to its perpetually frazzled subject during a particularly taxing time for her, illuminating the many challenges she has faced in her life and career, notwithstanding all of the triumphs. Brandi Carlile joins Christina and Dolly, and Perry’s ex-wife, actor Sara Gilbert (Darlene in Roseanne and The Conners) among the talking heads in this superb, animation-enhanced tribute to a legendary singer-songwriter-producer who keeps on producing hits for select others, the more she explores what she should be creating for herself.
Includes an introduction by Darryl W. Bullock, author of David Bowie Made Me Gay: 100 Years of LGBT Music.
