Sheryl Crow

How can you make such a boring film about such a particularly talented artist? The plot follows the usual documentary pattern with a few pathetic emotional moments here and there.

Actually just an endless interview in which everyone talks about how great Sheryl Crow is. We all know that, come on! Let us discover something new about this person!

Let us seel more about the music, the way it grows, the way how she works in the studio for example.

Let us know how she handled her relationships with the beloved people during all this time ... I could list so much more things that would have made the film more interesting.

Honestly I don't know what you're trying to achieve with this film. A pity!

I love Sheryl's music, but I felt this was whitewashed and didn't give us a realistic look at her life. It felt completely controlled by Sheryl, doing most of the talking herself. There were tidbits of insight into the industry and I respect her for standing up for herself. But there were no real personal revelations at all. I wouldn't call this a documentary. More of a pat on the back by Sheryl and her friends.

Having been of college age when Sheryl Crow came on the scene, I've always appreciated and been aware of her music but did not know much of the backstory that his documentary provides. Much of it was interesting but the content was entirely too sexist and being presented by bloviating self-righteous celebrities quickly became a turn-off. After watching it for what felt like two hours, I realized I wasn't even one hour in with another forty minutes to go. Not for me but might be for you.

Whine whine whine - that is all she does. Ha ha ha, The industry execs were so tough on her - as if they are not jerks to everyone - especially men. It is getting tiresome hearing these super successful rich women whining about how difficult life and work are. Quit your whining.

This is a story I honestly have wanted to hear for years. From the first time I heard Leaving Las Vegas more than 25 years ago, I knew I was going to enjoy her catalog. I've read up, watched interviews, but this give a great picture of how her career came to be. Ironically, they didn't talk much about Michael Jackson, but they talked enough. No mention of her many backing vocals for the likes of Don Henley.

I think what I found most fascinating was the Lance Armstrong relationship. Again, it didn't take much conversation, she was just straight forward and to the point. No mention of Kid Rock, but again, it was her story to tell.

I like Sheryl, but have long left the bandwagon, once she went more country and honkytonk, it just wasn't for me. Her first two albums are classics in my catalog and most like the reason she still draws a crowd today. I think she is far more complicated than she wants anyone to know, but I respect her privacy.
