The true queen of the neighborhood. I met Mrs Abehammerb while she was basically dressed up in Kathleen homage. That has turned out really well.

Yeah the interestingness was interesting but the general tone was too fangirl for me. It's very possible to have a loving, appreciative documentary that allows for some critical context. The film was more interested in advertising than exploring.
