05/28/2020 Interesting story about her life and at the same time you learn more about Tamil people and the war happening in Sri Lanka See more 02/12/2020 Amazing documentary. think what you like about MIA and her politics (and honestly it's a bit annoying that reviewers are giving reviews based on what they think of her rather than the film), this is an extremely well made piece of film. so lucky to have all this personal footage to draw from and paint such a clear portrait See more Emilio T @MilloTPue 11/15/2019 First, you feel overcome by so many videos. Yes, she wanted to be a documentalist and became a music star, but it seems the cause is the teenager-style of become the attention center and recording everything, which sometimes makes things unnatural. Second, her music is not my style (not hip-hop in general, which look to me not rich in anything but in rhythm, and that is way a great mass can feel identify with it, because they can do at home). But their songs are strong, they are easy to like, and she has -independently of aesthetics- a overwhelming personality, which also helps to the documentary. But, of course, the important point about the film is that the main character does not forget about her roots and uses her platform to give a message about her country, something that is not very common in music world and, of course, she is criticized. If she had done any ultra-right comment, probably there would be not much problem around.
