- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and people who love a true story told well, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. A good follow-up to Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me or Miss Americana.

- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Moves through the story clearly, at 29 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
