‘Sheryl’ Review: At SXSW, a Rousing Portrait of Sheryl Crow, A Good-Time Rock ‘n’ Roll Angel with Real Demons
12.03.2022 - 11:09 / variety.com
Owen Gleiberman Chief Film CriticThe pop-music world, in many ways, has only gotten angstier (it would be hard to imagine a mood-poet chanteuse like Billie Eilish commanding arenas 20 years ago). But even back in the ’90s, Sheryl Crow was the kind of straight-up, middle-of-the-strike-zone, tasty-licks virtuoso of rock ‘n’ roll good times who seemed to have been put on earth to make people happy.She was at the forefront of a revolutionary wave of women in pop — the Lilith Fair generation, from Alanis Morrisette to Sarah McLachlan to Shawn Colin to Paula Cole — but she was also, you could argue, one of the last great rockers to work in the heart-on-the-sleeve, guitar-riffs-on-air tradition of Bruce Springsteen and Tom Petty.
My favorite line of hers has always been the one that comes after “All I wanna do is have some fun” — namely, “Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard.” With her starburst smile and electrifying vocal bravado (which was always rock with a drop of country, befitting someone who came from “the bootheel of Missouri”), Sheryl Crow was someone you could imagine standing against the rising L.A. dawn after a night of partying.
In her songs, Crow has always been a vibrant crafter of her own mythology, telling it like it is. So when I went in tonight to watch “Sheryl,” the documentary portrait of her that was one of the opening-night films of this year’s SXSW Film Festival, I was ready to experience the wholesome, uplifting backstory of a supremely centered artist who has never had the inclination to bullshit you.
All of that is true about her. But it doesn’t mean that there isn’t some major dark drama to the Sheryl Crow story.Her first big break was landing a spot as a backup singer on Michael

‘How to Survive a Pandemic’ Review: David France Turns His Journalistic Eye to the COVID Vaccine Race
Guy Lodge Film CriticA decade ago, when his documentary “How to Survive a Plague” rode a wave of festival acclaim to an Oscar nomination, journalist-turned-filmmaker David France probably didn’t imagine that a similarly titled quasi-sequel was in the cards. A superb overview of the early years of HIV-AIDS activism in the face of political indifference and ineptitude — ultimately leading to game-changing medication and pharmaceutical policy change — that film has given France a solid grounding for another feature-length study of very different if somewhat comparable global health crisis, centered on the COVID-19 pandemic and the extraordinarily accelerated scientific race for a solution.Researched and assembled with his characteristic intelligence and thoroughness, “How to Survive a Pandemic” serves as both a valuable potted history of the last two years of medical tumult and relief, and a critical progress report marking work yet to be done. Hardly the first high-profile documentary on the pandemic, but the most substantial yet to focus specifically on the trajectory of the vaccine, France’s film is assured a receptive audience when it bows on HBO next week, following docfest premiere slots in Thessaloniki and Copenhagen.

Dobrik is the quintessence of cute — eager and baby-faced, with big dark puppy eyes and floppy brown hair combed so that it never seems combed. Clad in sweatshirts that he wears like pajamas, he looks like the comic-strip character Dondi crossed with Mark Wahlberg in 1995 crossed with the world’s smarmiest frat-house douche.
