Movie Reviews
Reviews:
"Ronstadt had a voice tender enough to beguile audiences in small clubs and mighty enough to shake the rafters of big arenas. Her charisma was tough, charming and sexy, combining various feminine pop archetypes without quite conforming to any of them." - 09/05/2019 New York Times
3 stars out of 4 -- "[I]f this film inspires people to rediscover her music, it is worth seeing." - 09/06/2019 RogerEbert.com
4 stars out of 5 -- "[A] useful primer....Ronstadt was arguably the biggest female pop solo star before Whitney Houston." - 09/06/2019 Rolling Stone
3 stars out of 4 -- "Directed in capable, straightforward fashion by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman, and featuring voice-over narration from the artist herself, THE SOUND OF MY VOICE is like a well-sourced and thorough video Wikipedia entry about the life and times of the now 73-year-old Ronstadt." - 09/12/2019 Chicago Sun-Times
