As a loyal fan of Nina Simone, I've been meaning to see this documentary for years and finally did so a few days ago. Jack and I both loved it. Oscar-nominated for Best Feature Documentary, it chronicles the pianist-singer's many talents and tribulations and includes archival footage and interviews with her (1933-2003) and some who were close to her.
I kept looking at it on my Netflix list when choosing content to download before plane travel but rejecting it in favor of watching without background noise. Good choice.
Director-producer Liz Garbus has made dozens of docs and was Oscar-nominated for one other.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics' average is 89%, its audiences' is 85, and the movie is streaming now.
