Janis Joplin, once an outcast from Port Arthur, Texas, becomes rock's most electrifying voice. Archival footage chronicles her journey from early TV appearances with Big Brother & the Holding Company, to a mind-blowing 1967 Monterey Pop performance, an explosive 1969 Woodstock set, and a candid Dick Cavett interview revealing the warm, wounded woman behind the bluesy wail.

David Robinson

She died from a drug overdose in 1970, though the film is so shabby and aimless that it doesn't trouble to mention the fact for the benefit of those who may be unfamiliar with Janis Joplin and her strenuous style of performance.

London Evening Standard

Alexander Walker

The film attempts no insights of its own, no commentary, no conclusion, not even even a notice of death. In many ways, it is a lazy once-over-lightly record.

Though the film dwells on the good times, Janis shows more emotions in a single song than Garbo did in her whole career.
