Patti Smith: Dream of Life

...it’s a captivating insight into modern music’s godmother.

Besides Smith's natural magnetism, Sebring's footage—much in stunning black and white—is beautiful, sustaining itself over nearly two hours.

The film is suffused with Smith’s sense of irony, outrage, and loss, and it is shaped according to her changing sense of self, her dedication to her kids, her constant political commitments.

...a fans-only document of rock's premier poet.
