“Iu0026#39;ve been looking forward to seeing this since I first saw the trailer a month ago, and in almost all ways it met my expectations. Donna Summer was the first artist whose music I loved not only because it appealed to me, but because I was intrigued by the person. I started really getting into music at the same time disco and Donna hit it big in 1977-78, she was seemingly always on the radio, and for the next few years I devoured every album she released.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eLove to Love You, Donna Summer is a pretty standard (not a bad thing at all) music documentary that definitely benefits from the co-director (Brooklyn Sudano, Donnau0026#39;s daughter)u0026#39;s trove of home movies, album demos, and photos that really enable the viewer to see the many different sides of Donna. Interviews with her other two daughters and husband, in addition to some of Donnau0026#39;s partners musically and personally, offer additional insight into her too-short life.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe only thing I felt missing was a bit more of an in depth look at her music through the 80u0026#39;s and into the 21st century, but thatu0026#39;s just the opinion of the music nerd in me. Ultimately, the doc is a long overdue examination (and love letter of sorts) of an incredibly influential, talented and popular musical force of nature.”
