Review by Carlie Newman
George Mackay and Tilda Swinton play two fictional characters and those interviewed include Sophie Fiennes, Edith Bowman, John Dunbar, Barry Reynolds., Courtney Love, Beth Orton and Nick Cave.The interviews are interspersed with Faithfull’s memories
Faithfull speaks candidly about featuring prominently in the tabloids and how she managed to overcome her notoriety. Born in 1946, the singer-songwriter began at the age of 17 and carried on performing until her death aged 78 in 2025 . She was very much part of the rock scene and was known for her closeness to the Rolling Stones. Often misrepresented as just a groupie, who had affairs and took drugs, in fact, she had a special voice and was able to present songs in a memorable way.
