WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE? (2015)

2/11/2016 - What Happened, Miss Simone? (2015) – 6/10

A perfectly fine and adequate doc, but it just seemed to lack a captivating essence for me. Well made, with plenty of unique footage and intriguing characters, but it felt slight when I wanted more depth. Certainly superior to a “Behind the Scenes”, but the general vibe was similar.

I liked it and certainly learned things about Miss Simone, but it seemed to keep me at arm’s length throughout the duration. A solid, average film about a seemingly extraordinary woman. If only I could have experienced that while watching this film.
