What are critics saying?
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
A wide range of concert and media clips lend vigor and variety to the documentary.
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
An unabashed celebration of her (Amalia) distinctive voice.
New York Post by Jonathan Foreman
It's hardly a dramatic story. You learn absolutely nothing about her personal life. But there is plenty of drama in that amazing, soulful voice and the songs she sang.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
If ever anyone earned the title "diva," it was the late singer Amalia Rodrigues.
The New York Times by Stephen Holden
Only twice does the film give a tantalizing glimpse at the personality behind the voice.
