I'd agree with Diane in that a thread reviewing a video, cd, etc. should be balanced (and free speech) enough to allow criticisms as well as praise and that it might be worth pointing out factual errors, if for no other reason than to try to avoid the next dose of wrong information on Mudcat when a song thread crops up. That said, in this instance, I do disagree with Diane's overall assessment of the documentary. I think it works well.

I would however question (or answer as he phrased it as a question) michaelr's comment:

After watching this, I can understand KR's detractors even less than before. I mean, her voice may not be to everyone's taste, but the music is always top-notch, and how can you not love that charming personality?

As it happens, I do agree that KR comes over as having a "charming personality". I fail to see why that need be related to liking (or otherwise) her music. Thinking back on the few music documentaries I've seen over the last couple of years, I remember a Rolling Stones one. I really could not stand the personalities but I still find their music really good. On the other hand, I can imagine KR as being a nice person to meet but, for me, I don't find her music above a sort of competent and pleasant enough (I'd listen to her happily in a folk club) "average" - I don't understand the sort of "star status" with her.
