6/10
She underestimated her manager
9 July 2019
Kate Nash is the singer who came out with that line about eating so many lemons, as she is so bitter.

Essentially a one hit wonder, this is a documentary about surviving the pop industry after you have been dropped by the record label and savaged by critics.

Kate Nash tries to kick-start her music career by playing to small venues in America and paying it all herself from her savings. She is boosted by her new manager who has big plans for her.

Yet somewhere along the line, the manager has been using Kate's credit card to fund his own wedding.

Hold on he has been appearing in the filming of a documentary about his artist. What was he thinking?

Kate takes legal action against him and his lawyers wanted her to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Hold on, this is all being recorded for a documentary. What was he thinking?

There is something manipulative about this documentary that never sat right with me. It probably is the swindling manager thing.

I think Kate Nash wanted it about a plucky British girl thing that fought against the odds to come back. Down to her last penny and she got a role in a Netflix show.

In a facile way it succeeds unless you look at it deeply and it raises more questions about it being a manipulative piece of fluff.
