Review of Nothing Compares (2022) by Jluis_001 — 07 Aug 2023

An engaging and focused documentary that compellingly highlights the pressing necessity for a re-evaluation of Sinéad O’Connor's place in pop history.

O'Connor, an extraordinary singer who underwent a tragic transition from respected icon to the target of derision and vicious jokes. Sadly, her own industry did not give her the support she deserved and needed.

As Morrisey pointed out, the posthumous tributes she received were often steeped in hypocrisy, a sentiment that has a staggering impact when you consider that agreeing with Morrisey is shocking enough.

While I personally wasn't a follower of her musical career, I must acknowledge the efficacy of this documentary in presenting crucial and relevant insights into her life. It's a work that delves productively into it.

For those intrigued, I recommend giving it a chance.
