Janis: Little Girl Blue

"Berg’s film is no stylistic innovator itself, but it’s the satisfying feature-length overview that Joplin’s brief, fiercely brilliant career has long merited."

"A recipe for triumph then tragedy, here given its punchy and desperately poignant due."

"Amy Berg’s deeply sympathetic documentary on Janis Joplin gets so much right, it feels like a major act of cultural excavation."

"While there are numerous dynamite performance clips, Berg's film is generally more revealing on a personal level than as an appreciation of her music."

"Although packed with compelling archive footage, this never quite gets into Joplin's head, heart or soul."
