All Critics (7) | Top Critics (3) | Fresh (6) | Rotten (1)
[Stephen] Loveridge's movie is a fantastic and kinetic fulfillment of Maya Arulpragasam's desire, back then, to be heard as more than an entertainer.
It's a film as compellingly all over the shop as its subject, even if it doesn't quite have her beat on stylistic verve and risk.
The director and subject struggle to say everything about globalism, fame, identity and whatever else comes into their heads, until the film is at risk of saying nothing much at all.
Stephen Loveridge fully understands that even the trifurcated title of his film may not be entirely equipped at capturing the extent of M.I.A.'s many-faceted identity.
As a raw document of Arulpragasm's life it's a treasure trove of intimate insights... The only problem is its disinterest in her actual artistic process.
What distinguishes Matangi/Maya/M.I.A. from the crowd is its extensive access to the controversial artist, and the strong impression that she isn't terribly likeable, nor terribly keen to be liked.
