I waited so long for this documentary to play in my area. It arrived, along with Linda's nephews, The Ronstadt Brothers, for a Q&A afterwards.
I was spellbound during the entire movie. Linda narrates and provides insight into her life and career. The clips of her singing all the songs I've loved her for had me weeping. Her pure soprano is overwhelmingly beautiful. She can go from singing a heartbreaking ballad to wailing country, rock, and standards. There are tributes from many, many other stars. There are interviews she gave that I've never seen before. The movie was very well made. I did not want it to end. The bittersweet end with Linda singing with her nephew also showed how her Parkinson's has progressed. Her hands shaking are noticible.
It is an extremely wonderful movie about a true superstar with a vocal gift that is unmatched. I've pre-ordered the blu-ray so I can enjoy this movie many more times.
score 10/10
