Making a documentary about a woman so mysterious is no easy feat. Diane Luckey, better known as Q Lazzarus, disappeared from the public eye for over 25 years. She gained fans all over the world that she didn't know about. Fans she would never meet. Fans who would not know her presence at all. Conveying anyone's personality can be tricky, but I feel like Eva did it wonderfully. In this documentary, you can pick up on Diane's humor. You can pick up on her passion. You can pick up on her strength. Hell, you can even pick up on her parenting style at one point in the movie! The way this was edited is phenomenal, and once again, editing this was no easy task. Eva has said that (and I'm just paraphrasing here) she felt like she had 2 completely different films. One about a rock star and one about a woman's struggle (especially with substance abuse). That being said, I think Eva was able to make this one coherent story. I applaud Eva for all the hard work and dedication she needed take on the difficult task of speaking for a woman who can no longer speak for herself. We miss you, Q.

So what did I think of this film I was so excited to see? I adored it. I still have questions about Q, that may or may never be answered, but I think that's okay! I have never cried so hard at a movie like I did with this documentary. The world can feel so incredibly cruel sometimes.

Diane, you deserved better. I hope you're feeling all this love and success that's coming from this documentary. I hope more people are able to hear, learn from, and maybe even resonate with your story.
