What this movie introduces us to, indirectly, is the possibility that self-destruction is a genre in art and in life, requiring two addictions: to applause (causing agonising cold-turkey after the show) as well as to drugs.

...sincere, if frustratingly conventional, profile of a hellraising pioneer who adored what she did but so loathed herself that she sought refuge in drink and drugs to numb the pain.

På knap 50 års afstand er koncertoptagelserne og Joplins stemme stadig dirrende intense, og filmen skaber et fascinerende portræt af en viljestærk kunstner, men også et særdeles sensitivt menneske.

...har skabt en film om en ulykkelig sjæl på evig jagt efter det rette sted at føle sig hjemme, [og derfor] bliver Janis: Little Girl Blue både aktuel og ualmindelig gribende.

Janis Joplin, a Texas-born singer who rose to fame in the 1960s with her powerful, raw voice and unapologetic stage presence, is the subject of this documentary. Through a series of intimate letters, written by Joplin to her friends, family, and collaborators over the years, the film paints a portrait of a complicated, driven, and often beleaguered artist. Directed by Amy Berg, the documentary features narration by Cat Power and offers a fresh perspective on Joplin's life, beyond her rock-star persona and tragic death at the age of 27.
