Dolly Parton: Here I Am

Seeing how planned out her career is and was and how driven she was is fascinating and shows what depth she has as a person. If you if are not a country music fan, you can't help but love her and you will love at least some of her songs.

Was it odd that Kenny Rogers and her movies with Burt Reynolds and Sylvester Stallone were left out? I learned a lot more about Dolly Parton in this.show. I loved her movie Coats of Many Colors.

A well made documentary focusing on some of dollys more iconic songs and rolls, and just the persona that is Dolly Parton. Great use of archival footage and interviews from fellow musicians and friends.

Fills in a lot of gaps for an old rock and roll fan who's grown to respect her songwriting immensely over the years. Great mix of interviews, performances and clips. However, I was confused about the overuse of interviews with Linda Perry and Kylie Minogue. Granted, Perry collaborated with Dolly for one hit single in 2018, but from her time on-screen, you might think that she had produced Dolly for decades. I also can't find any connection between Minogue and Dolly in my research. What would have pushed my rating higher would have been to include the glaring omission of her musical collaborations with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris. Their memories would have been much more revealing. The absence of her significant contributions to the movie Steel Magnolias is puzzling as well. She easily held her own in a movie that was bursting with talented actors. All in all, though, this one is worth a look.

Just a movie to watch how amazing and cute is Dolly Parton! She is so lovely, and talented. If you are her fan you must watch it. Dolly is stunning
