Nothing Compares (2022) on Netflix

Plot summary

A documentary about Sinéad O'Connor's life and legacy, centered on the years 1987 to 1993, when her singing carried her from Ireland to worldwide fame. She grew up in predominantly Roman Catholic Ireland, and she used her voice to challenge the narratives that surrounded her. Her agency, depth and perspective did not spare her the reaction to her refusal to conform: she was often patronized and treated as a pop star chasing attention, and the film considers her exile from the pop mainstream. It weighs that legacy through a feminist lens, drawing on her own words and deeds from those years.
