A well crafted film about a great singer. - Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over review by RP

Spoiler Alert
15/05/2024

Interesting and informative biography of arguably the best female singer/story teller there has ever been.  Her struggles with the era of segregation in the South of the US to her acts of charity for Aids. To her bringing the Gangsta RAP stars of the time for a little talking to. Her work for education etc and the tragedy of losing relatives. Throughout it all we have the taking heads of the good and powerful telling us how much of a fan they are. But you do have a feeling that even through her financial problems she isn't a lady who takes praise or setbacks for too long. So many great songs are played throughout the film and in the end it is a great film to enjoy. Often these sort of things can be too earnest and over simpering. But this works well and along with the lady herself has a great light sense of humour running through out.

One of the better films dealing with a favourite singer.
