Love to Love You, Donna Summer Ratings & Reviews
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Matthew Carey
Directors Roger Ross Williams and Brooklyn Sudano don't aim for a jukebox music experience, content to press play on one hit after another. Rather, they create a portrait of a woman and artist far more complex than has been appreciated.
The Film Experience
Glenn Dunks
There's a tunnel vision to the story being told here that, through some weird editing and scripting choices, abandons her musical skills for less interesting detours into her private life.
MovieWeb
David Reddish
If Love to Love You succeeds in paying homage to Donna Summer's influence and showbiz legacy, it falters a bit in unraveling her personal confabulations.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Lael Loewenstein
This film scratches the surface... It doesn't get in deep, and I didn't learn much about her.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
It's more candid and doesn't gloss over the hard parts of Summer's life.
We Live Entertainment
Aaron Neuwirth
It can feel a bit lopsided in that regard, considering how much time we spend with certain individuals. Still, it's an interesting enough approach from directors Brooklyn Sudano and Roger Ross Williams.
The Curvy Film Critic
Carla Renata
Roger Ross Williams and Summer's daughter Brooklyn Sudano provide an insightful look into the sound and iconic Queen of Disco - Donna Summer with heart, honesty and respect for a talent taken far too soon
Chicago Reader
Jamie Ludwig
This is a daughter's exploration of who her mother was at her core, and why she lived her life and made her choices the way she did.
Decider
Johnny Loftus
[Love to Love You, Donna Summer] tracks the mechanisms of starmaking, the highs and lows of which really haven't changed that much in the five decades since Summer was first crowned the "Queen of Disco."
CNN.com
Brian Lowry
By the time it's over, "Love to Love You" might not have completely put together the pieces of who Summer was, but it has fostered an appreciation for what she produced, particularly during that inordinately fertile span of hits during the late '70s.
RogerEbert.com
Peyton Robinson
"Love to Love You, Donna Summer" is thorough in its insight into the woman beneath the spotlight.
Metro Weekly (Washington, DC)
André Hereford
HBO's enthralling 'Love to Love You, Donna Summer' reveals an eclectic artist who didn't set out to rule disco, but she did.
NPR
Eric Deggans
Offers important context about her talent and lots of great performance footage. But like the artist herself, the film can also be maddeningly enigmatic, just when you want to know more.
Wall Street Journal
John Anderson
It's a bold stylistic choice, amusingly abrasive: By telling the singer's story almost entirely through the media of the era, there's a genuine sense of the time and its aesthetic.
Draftkings Nation
Murjani Rawls
The documentary is aware of how much staying power Summer has within the context of timeless music - at times, it doesn't know when to celebrate it thoroughly.
Quelle Movies
Raquel Stecher
isn't as revelatory as it promises to be and leaves the audience with more questions than answers.
Variety
Owen Gleiberman
As "Love to Love You, Donna Summer" captures, the woman who made "I Feel Love" into an anthem lifted you to a place where you couldn't help but feel it too.
Eye for Film
Amber Wilkinson
Love To Love You, Donna Summer, has perhaps the best prism of all to observe the life of the Queen of Disco through - that of her family.
POV Magazine
Jason Gorber
While it seems absurd to celebrate a film for being honest and truthful about its subject, it's a rare enough feat when it comes to authorized music documentaries like Love to Love You, especially with family involvement, that's it's worthy of trumpeting.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
The doc is stuffed with great archive material. But it largely squanders an ideal platform through which to reaffirm the subject's vital place in pop music history...
