“The definitive documentary of a brilliant, innovative early ’70s singer-songwriter.”
—Variety

“An affecting film around which admirers and newcomers alike can gather to bask in the unique beauty of Judee’s work and to follow the similarly distinctive trajectory of her painful and abbreviated life.”
—The Wall Street Journal 

“A great piece of lost classic rock history.”
—Film Threat

Folk singer-songwriter Judee Sill is one of the great examples of an artist whose music was truly ahead of its time. As a young hell-raising juvenile delinquent, she got the music bug and went to LA to start her career where she was soon signed to David Geffen’s Asylum Records. While her label-mates Jackson Browne, the Eagles, and Joni Mitchell went to the top of the charts, Sill’s records sat on the shelves. Spiraling into depression, substance abuse, and codependency, she died young, but her music has lived on as her records have been discovered by new generations of fans.
