Storyline
Featured review
Another early reviewer here said most of what I was going to say about how this film is disorganized and choppy, with poor editing and no central point or theme. But mainly I found it very, very, very boring although I was a great fan of hers. Someone born over 50 years ago, in 1970, would be 52 to 53 years old today. Yet there is no context provided for Donna Summer's career, almost nothing about the era, very little about disco music. The film just assumes that the viewer is very familiar with all this and very familiar with Donna Summer. And they could not show a single performance of one entire song? Or play one entire record all the way through? There's a lot of "home video" type film which is just a bunch of people messing around and does nothing to illustrate anything about Donna Summer. Her fall from popularity was almost as dramatic as her rise, yet as another reviewer said you'd think from this film that she went right from a major career to lung cancer and dying. What happened in between? A sadly missed opportunity; a fascinating performer turned into a boring subject and a documentary which provides little relevance for anyone not over 50.
