Joan Baez I Am a Noise

I felt this movie to be slooowww. I am a Joan Baez fan, had a couple albums, but still long to me....

I felt bad about the accusations against her parents. it definitely felt like the therapist was encouraging this. Either way, these moments seemed way too private. I was hoping to hear more about her musical influences, etc, I definitely thought I would hear more of her music. this was just a little too deep for me. Way too much time was spent on the sessions with the therapist.

Recovered memory therapy is unscientific and discredited, with warnings that it can be dangerous and harmful. This movie is an instance of that. Based on this woo-woo therapy Ms Baez accused her father of horrific crimes. She was estranged from him as a result. Now, when he is dead and unable to defend himself she accuses him in a very public forum. Albert Baez was a respected and accomplished scientist who was consciously remembered by his children as a loving father. He gave his children an unusual childhood and instilled in them values that were the basis of their success.

Most incredible movie I've ever seen. To Baez's voice brings tears!

Joan Baezs life and personality we pictured well in this documentary. I would have liked to learn more about the song writing process and how they reflected what was happening in her life at the time they were being written.

Left out some years, but revealed a lot more of her life than I was aware of. A very intospective documentary and well presented

When it comes down to it, music is just presented as a part of the human experience in this documentary. The essence of this film is understanding our relationship with how we cope with, understand, and remember all the things we experience in our conscience time. It’s a very good film. Better the days after if you are willing to think about what you remember if it. I might of given a 4.9 review for not including footage of Ms. Baez with Earl Scruggs in her living room because that should be be seen by everyone

The beauty of her early voice, person and spirit are clearly covered. We can see why the world opened to her. But now we know why she also looked so heartbreakingly sad at times. This documentary travels through time seamlessly. You are never lost or confused. Like Merlin we see the older Joan become emotionally lighter, releasing the baggage from her youth. The final images of joy and acceptance are exactly the emotional note for us to leave her journey and return to our own lives enriched.

One of the most if not the most powerful and revealing documentaries I've ever seen! A must see!

Just a warning, this is heavier then your typical rock doc.
