Goodbye Horses: Las muchas vidas de Q Lazzarus

I went to see this film with my husband and we were both devastated but also utterly entranced. We feel nothing but admiration and awe for this incredible feat of resurrection of a forgotten artist who deserves enormous recognition. Q Lazzarus was an extraordinary woman and Aridjis-Fuentes tells her story with great elegance and respect. Apart from being a compelling portrait of an artist and of a woman with a personality and presence larger than anything you could ever imagine, it is a complex and layered portrait, not always favorable, of American society. May Q's story and transcendent voice become a part of our lives, may she forever be an inspiration.

The reason we love films is that, sometimes, they provide us with a reminder that there is magic, still, in the world.

Such is the case with Goodbye Horses: The Many Lives of Q Lazzarus - A remarkable - even miraculous - piece of documentary work by director Eva Aridjis-Fuentes who just happened to be the only person who could have made this film at the particular time it came to be.

This is a stunning, accessible, portrait of an artist as well as a commentary on our society. Heartbreaking, haunting, and, ultimately, uplifting, it's everything you could want from any film and the fact that it's true to life makes it even more important. Watch it at your emotional peril because it is devastating in the end. Bravo!

This beautiful documentary directed by Eva Fuentes, honors Q Lazzarus' life and music in such a loving and moving way. It was fate for Q to meet Eva. They were destined soul sisters. Q's iconic song 'Goodbye horse' has been passed down generations, yet we did not know anything about Q. She deserved to be known and given her flowers. In a full circle moment Eva was able to do that. What are you waiting for? Go watch!!!

This is the best documentary I have seen in a long while. Can't stop thinking about it! Not only is Q an unforgettable human being but Eva Aridjis Fuentes handles her story with utmost delicacy and respect. Tremendously executed, really. Everyone should watch this. Not sure why it hasn't gone viral by now.

I watched the movie and I found it amazing. It is excitingly constructed and in no way sensationalist.

I was very moved by how Q's life with all the ups and Downs is shown in the movie.

It is a shame, that all the other music she made through all these years never came out.

In a certain way, it can be compared to Searching for sugar man.
