O’Connor

fascinating
documentary
“Nothing Compares”.

the film looks at her
troubled upbringing,
her first steps into music, the
meteoric rise she enjoyed
after the release
of her
legendary

very public
protests
that put her in
the crosshairs of a cruel
tabloid media.

’Nothing
Compares’
stands as a vital testament to the bravery and significance of this
preternaturally gifted, much maligned and embattled artist”–Daily
Telegraph
’Nothing
Compares’
is a bold re-examination
of O’Connor’s all-too-brief
window of wider influence, and a searing critique of the sexist and
conservative backlash that led to her retreat from public life”-Indiewire
