Love to Love You, Donna Summer

"(The doc) is thorough in its insight on the woman beneath the spotlight but would have benefitted from more insight into her creations themselves."

"Though the chronology is sometimes rocky... the directors create a touching, thought-provoking, and overwhelmingly human portrait of a fascinating artist."

"Like the artist herself, the film can also be maddeningly enigmatic, just when you want to know more."

"The film reveals the often under-appreciated musicianship of Summer."

"By telling the singer’s story almost entirely through the media of the era, there’s a genuine sense of the time and its aesthetic."

"Oh, do I wish the movie gave you a richer sense of Summer’s development and identity as an artist."

"Lots for fans to pore over, but also a missed opportunity."

"Even in a boom time for musical profiles, this HBO presentation shines brighter than most."

"The doc is revealing as a biography, as well as a sound exploration of celebrity as it existed in a previous era."
