Queen Mimi

I watched this documentary on Netflix a few months ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. She is such a character with an amazing personality. I found myself completely enthralled in her story and was so happy that I had chosen to watch it. I would definitely recommend this documentary to anyone. :)

Wasn't sure.. but watched her movie and I just love her! I'm even friends with her on Facebook.. she is truly a wonderful person who lives one day at a time. If we all could be 1/10 of the person she is, oh what a wonderful world it would be! I also appreciate all who have been there for her Zach and the man who owned the laundry mat and any one else who took the time to find out how really wonderful she is...loved the movie ( Very Well Done!). I'd give it a 10 star if I could? Thanks to Mimi for letting us get to know here and for all that helped make a really good story!

I just turned 81 and have been depressed about the few remaining years I probably have. Then tonight I discovered "Queen Mimi!" What a beautifully done documentary about an 88 year homeless woman who lived in a LaundroMat for over 20 yrs. after losing her family & house and every thing in it. She becomes a street person at age 50. It is so wonderfully filmed and edited and Mimi is such a positive character and ;loved by the Santa Monica, CA. neighborhood! Uplifting feisty and strong, You will want to be her friend too! Don't miss it.

I was so curious...I had to "click" on this Netflix flick...I am so glad; so grateful and so happy, that I did...What an interesting, provocative, enlightening story of one woman's journey through life - moving forward always, with a glint in her eye and a smile on her face...WHO DOES THAT whose went through what she has????????

No one that I know of.

Zach G. - Kudos to your remarkable sense of right and love for WHAT'S RIGHT, by bringing her story to the light of we, the often, "stone faced" public. I cannot remember when I've seen such a moving rendition of an elderly person's life...Maybe? "On Golden Pond" not sure...In the meantime...

This was filmed in my hometown, I knew Montana well...LIVED on 11th street where the apt. was torn down to make way for affordable housing that dear Mimi would have no part of because of so many "elderly" she did not wish to be around.

The fact that a couple of people gave her an apt. to live in? PRICELESS. As is? This entire story of elder love...

Kudos to all who made it happen...I know that I am changed forever by seeing it. -And that is, very often, what it is all about on this journey we call life.

You instantly fall in love with Mimi. No matter what you think at first from looking at her, the stigmas you may have; you just love her.

The more you watch, learning about her hardships, the more you just adore this woman. Her dancing... Her laughter. Every day a smile. Her pure sass and love of life.

You end up, wondering why you have been having a pity party in your own world, instead of a dance party like Queen Mimi.

She puts a lot into perspective. Great movie.
