With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- One for music lovers and the curious. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Shelve it next to Avicii: True Stories or Michael Jackson's This Is It.
- The mood
- Eye-opening.
- The pace
- Well paced for a documentary, at 43 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.
Ava DuVernay focuses on the history of female MCs in the hip hop industry in this short documentary that features Missy Elliott, Salt-N-Pepa, Eve, Jean Grae, Roxanne Shante, Trina, The Lady of Rage, and many more.
