Avery R @RT23383308 06/11/2024 Donna Summer was amazing and I can’t wait to see this movie! She will forever and always be the Queen of Disco! See more Ashley H @ashleyhobgood87 09/10/2023 Love to Love, Donna Summer is a disappointing film. It is about the singer, Donna Summer. I thought the documentary was disjointed and not put together well. I would not recommend it. See more James Michael H @AddisonDeWitt_50 08/24/2023 If you love Donna Summer and as I do, skip this documentary. It's structured terribly and fails to capture her magic. She deserved so much more and better. See more Alan W @PatronWong 07/20/2023 Co-directed by one of her daughters and co-produced with Summer's husband, HBO Max's documentary on yet another female icon of our times unsurprisingly doesn't scratch the surface much. The story of Donna Summer's humble beginnings which eventually lead to international fame is duly presented here, as are her struggles with her record company and balancing work with motherhood. There are some insights into her fears and insecurities and the most revealing it gets is mentioning the sexual abuse and domestic violence which befall her with various relationships in her life. But like her difficulty in reconciling her faith with her pulsating and overtly sexy music and her gay following, all these issues were addressed but hardly discussed in any real depth. Despite the unevenness of quality of some of the audio and visual excerpts they've unearthed from her archive, access to these rare and unseen/unheard home video footage and outtakes is this film's biggest selling point. Otherwise, how would we know Summer has such a silly sense of humour and that she was once in a German production of Hair? See more Shelley H @Nena14 06/14/2023 Like that it included her music at different points in her life and the evolution. It shared information and insights about her story we never knew, while seeming to allow her and her family to maintain a certain amount of privacy - which we actually prefer. Nicely done. See more Jack H @RT37894518 05/22/2023 What a total mess. It almost looks like a rough cut that isn't even close to finished. The audio is horrific and the editing is so bad. This woman was an icon and many people watching this will not know much about her music and success. You would never know her real influence from this documentary. Bad quality phone call interviews is the best you can do for a legend? Even her family doesn't sit down to speak about her. It certainly begs for someone to make a good documentary about her life. This is a terrible one. See more Read all reviews
