Prince: My Name Is

The quality of this documentary is pathetic...Prince would be disgusted by it. It starts off okay, focusing on his rise to fame in the late 70's and early 80's. His albums 1999 and Purple Rain were the catalysts that propelled him into superstardom. Then suddenly, the doc jumps to his Super Bowl halftime performance in 2007. Then it backtracks to the mid 80's. Very confusing. It picks back up, noting his major albums along the way but somehow missed "Sign of the Times" which hit #6 on the Billboard album chart and included 3 Top Ten singles. Some very strange ghost audio appeared out of nowhere later in the doc. Annoyingly, people are interviewed and seem to be of some importance, but they are never identified. But the worst thing about this film is how they used some Prince look alike quite often. Do they not think that we, huge Prince fans, wouldn't notice?

Like another reviewer stated, you won't learn anything new. It skims over his career very loosely and focuses too much on his death. An artist of Prince's magnitude deserves so much more than what is offered here.

So many bad things make this unwatchable. You will not learn anything new. The film uses a Prince look alike in shots. A no-no. Technical issue where ghost audio shows up where it shouldn't. People were interviewed on camera without names or context. Don't waste your time. How Netflix approved this I don't know. There were just stock footage, photos pulled from asset repositories. The footage they had if him going into a medical center was shown three times. They had no insightful or footage rarely seen before. The film didn't even give his sister a titled lower third so that people that who didn't know could know who she was. This was a "People Magazine documentary".
