Earlier this year (2021) I watched "Tina" which redefined the documentary genre for me especially for survivors of abuse.
What disappointed me about this documentary is that Mary has shared a lot of herself through her music. This documentary was the golden opportunity to expand on who she was but several times she held back. I fully understand how survivors never wanna talk about their bad experiences because they do not wanna retraumatize themselves but sadly she gave us a lousy documentary that revealed nothing which I would recommend people to watch it for. I'm being kind giving it a 4 star rating because I love Mary but this documentary shouldn't have been made. It was a waste of time and resources.
