Janis

...some of the most fiery rock ’n’ roll performances ever captured on film.

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.

...en sevärd sådan om en av rockhistoriens häftigaste och mest inflytelserika kvinnliga artister.

...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.
