Celebrating
Dolly's 50th year at the Grand Ole Opry is as good as reason as any to look back at her remarkable career to date. It's not a definitive look, by any means, but time spent with the star herself makes it wholly worthwhile for fans old and new. There's additional input from fellow songwriters and music business producers, and movie co-stars, most of whom share what the Tennessee-born songbird's heartfelt melodies mean to them.
The bigger than life persona that's like a smile personified keeps media attention on her movements, but it's the songs that make
Dolly special. The documentary discusses and lightly dissects a few of them without lessening their power as stories of compassion, sincerity and sympathetic joy.
