Jagged

It started off so well then the #metoo movement high jacked it (which Alanis didn't sign up for) and it turned quickly into a how bad men are in the industry. Myself as a male in the nineties absolutely loved the album and still listen to it a lot to this day! She paved the way for women (and men) to make these kind of songs. She is, and always will be a trailblazer and unbelievably great addition to the music industry. She was exactly what was needed after the Nirvana grunge era and Taylor Hawkins going to the Foo Fighters just proves it. She's the type of person that you would love to have a drink & a discussion about music with.

I always liked her music (well.. maybe not the earlier stuff).

Wow, how often I had her in my headphones chilling on beaches in South East 90th Asia.

Such a talent and beauty, had a crush on her for 30 years.. The way she sing her texts, it's like it doesn't matter if it's rhymes in songs lyrics or not, she just fix it with her voice (like Bob D)!

Easy 9/10.

Sorry for bad English, I'm a viking.

For all the controversy about Alanis being unhappy with the film and finding it "salacious," it's actually pretty dull. After the Woodstock '99 documentary, which was informative, entertaining, and did a great job contextualizing the events depicted, I had much higher hopes for this. Unfortunately, it's less of a documentary and more of a retrospective without a whole lot to say. The music is still great, though.

Isn't it ironic? This documentary only very superficially delved into Alanis Morissette, the person, but it was apparently "too salacious" for Alanis. I would like to have learned more about what makes Alanis the person who was able to create such wonderful music.

I had just finished watching the Anthony Bourdain documentary, Roadrunner. We got real insight into Anthony the person in that film, to learn about his beauty and his flaws, not about how great his TV shows were.

With Jagged, we got a film whose thesis is "Alanis set the world on fire with Jagged Little Pill and opened the door for women in rock." An inspiring message about someone who started on the wrong track (a Tiffany and Debbie Gibson wannabe) but was determined to find her own voice rather than what sleazy showbiz promoters of the moment needed her to be. There are similarly inspiring feminist messages throughout, but to some to some extent this film comes across like one of those DVD "extra" promo reels.

It just seemed to lack substance and purpose.

Great doco, and nothing salacious about it. Could have gone much deeper but still worth a watch. No doubt there will be loads of blokes saying it's boring because it wasn't salacious enough - so watch it for feminism's sake ;-)
