    This film rocks...

    by Oliverthecat

    It is an amazing trip with Anita and her fantastic life and music...really well made film. Superb combination of edits and graphics that really match the art work that made that generation of jazz look so incredibly hip...Anita is one in a million and so is this film....I read the review in the LA weekly and drove out to PS to see it ....worth the 50. dollars in gas there and back....

    I highly recommend this documentary. I saw it in NY after reading the NYTimes rave review. I didn't know much about Ms. O'Day before seeing the film and was mesmerized by her candid personality, her accomplishments and her story of survival. The film was very well made, fast paced, fun graphics and amazing music which left me wanting more.
