Sheryl

She’s an engaging, unpretentious and consistently frank docent of her own career, which she assures the viewer is still ongoing, despite the fact that she’s not making albums right now.

More than just another one of those authorized-infomercial music docs that are all too prevalent these days, Sheryl (directed by Amy Scott) transforms into an examination of what it took to make it in music, especially for a woman in the pre-#MeToo era.

It is a deserved appreciation of an artist whose music has transformed the lives of many people — including her own.

Sheryl Crow onstage at Woodstock '94 was the personification of a rock star, although she wasn’t one yet. Her documentary fills in the blanks nicely.
