Newsday
Quickly after this fall's release of her groundbreaking expose Prophet's Prey, Oscar-nominated director Amy Berg has delivered another film sure to pique the interest of the general audience, especially those who loved Janis and the music of the 60s.

Cinemacy
The music remains astonishing. Every performance seems like a career highlight, and it doesn't seem possible that she could have been so intense all the time.

The Public (Buffalo)
It's a wonderful portrait...and it is richly layered.

Globe and Mail
Documentary filmmaker Amy Berg (West of Memphis, Prophet's Prey) has made an elegant, affectionate and, in many ways, remarkably cheerful film about Janis Joplin.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Janis Joplin is one of the most revered and iconic of all rock and roll singers, a tragic and misunderstood figure who thrilled millions of listeners and blazed new creative trails before her death in 1970 at age 27. With Janis: Little Girl Blue, director Amy J. Berg examines Joplin's story in depth, presenting an intimate, insightful portrait of a complicated, driven, often beleaguered artist. Joplin's own words tell much of the films story through a series of letters she wrote home over the years, many made public here for the first time (and read by Southern-born indie rock star/actor Cat Power). Joplin was a powerhouse when she sang, and her recordings have never left the radio or the hearts of rock fans. Janis: Little Girl Blue offers new understanding of a bright, complex woman whose meteoric rise and sudden demise changed music forever and continues to influence female musicians.
