Without mentioning Dottie West's Raw talent and how her personal emotions came through each and every note, I found the movie to be thought provoking, intense at times and very moving - so much so to write this.
What I would like to know is the reason Kenny Rogers did not attend her funeral AND if he did attend a more private one or his own "recognition/acknowledgment", why was there no reference to that in the movie. I would think after all the years of working together and building a friendship, there would have been more of a "connection" there.
Also, (nothing to do with the movie. Dottie west had many friends in the "business" Loretta Lynn, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline (although deceased at the time) etc. To the average person 2 million dollars is astronomical, however to celebrities (especially a few of them), that's not only a tax write off, but change in the pocket. I don't understand why a few "friends" couldn't get together to donate/contribute/give etc. Dottie west what was needed or even have a benefit concert in her favor which would have helped considerably???
Michelle Lee did an amazing job and as far as the director, very believable! Jason J. (www.jasonj.biz)
