Nothing Compares

Not the most technically marvelous doc. But the information and emotion are highly relevant (obviously). Sinead O’Connor was right about the Catholic church, and it’s good she got to live to see the scandal break in the Boston Globe, etc (see Spotlight). It’s mysterious that the Prince estate would not allow a recording of the song “Nothing Compares 2U” to be used in the film. It seems petty, but I don’t know all the facts. Regardless, Sinead was lightning in a bottle, and unfortunately personified the “tortured artist.”
