Suzi Q

Great dvd from the queen of rock and leather. Loved her for 40+ yrs

An excellent, detailed, enjoyable biographical documentary as a long overdue tribute to the great, leather-clad, Elvis-inspired rock performer who helped kick open the doors for women in rock. Surprising more layered than the usual rock doc fare.

This was a fast-moving documentary and held my attention throughout. It gave me a whole new appreciation for her music, and made me nostalgic for the days we listened to Suzi Quatro cassettes on car trips.

Suzi Q features quite a diverse range of people being interviewed; from the Fonz, Alice Cooper and Joan Jett, to her ex-husband, children and Suzi herself.

It gives a fascinating insight into Suzi and her career over the years. It makes me want to delve into her discography with fresh enthusiasm for her work.

Suzi was an absolute pioneer, and in showing her journey, it ends up being quite an inspiring documentary about chasing your dreams.

I attended the Melbourne premiere of this flick, which director Liam Firmager and Suzi Q herself attended and did a 1 hour q&a. The film was incredible, it traversed her entire career right up until now. It depicted her struggle gaining fame in the USA, her drama with her family and her projects after music. The film included interviews from Debbie Harry and Alice Cooper and had some really funny moments and gave us a deep insight into the life and music of Suzi Q. Hats off to Liam Firmager for getting the rights to all the archival footage shown in the film (over 400 pieces) of interviews and pictures and video. Most in high definition. This film is truly a joyful insight into Suzi and a great rock documentary in general. Check it out!

This film is one of those rare music doco's that captures the heart, talent, pathos and humanity of the subject without becoming a froth and bubbles, feelgood promo video. It's warts and all here. The director ( Firmager ) masterfully meshes all the elements of ' talking heads', archival footage, interviews with Suzi, and family history, together in a way that never becomes pedestrian. It's constantly moving towards the next adventure, much like it's wonderful subject, Suzi Quatro. Love your work all involved. It's a 9 for me.
