Annie Clark / St Vincent has been consistently smart, innovative, humble and humourously knowing. She's a modern artist, made for the screen. A rare talent, sharp as a tack.
This is great if you are a fan, but also turned me into one, as I then trawled through her back catalogue (I knew the Polyphonic Spree, but was unaware of her) and was blown away - better late than never.
This documentary tries to play with the format - and that of mockumentaries. Not always successfully, but always sincerely and from a good place. The concert footage is Cracked Actor/Ziggy good and I always appreciate all Carrie B's work.
Glad this was made in this style, as would be too easy for such a talent or management to just present fans with the usual safe, commercial fodder. Just luxuriate in St Vincent's musicality.
