I only ever read one of her books. Out of curiosity to see what all the fuss was about. I was NOT impressed and I am no prude. She wrote that particular book from the male sexual side of things which was a huge disappointment. I suppose it was ground-breaking she was writing so graphically and having independent women as her heroes.
My curiosity in watching this was in the sibling relationship she had with her sister and their origins. A famously beautiful sister and the comparatively plain (quite attractive actually) writer who invests in plastic surgery to make herself prettier.
Interesting when the tables are turned after many years and she becomes more famous than Joan.
Interviews are fairly flat apart from those with Joan. Her daughters are candid on her subsequent marriage after the "love of her life" Oscar dies.
Her perfectly crafted persona was a sham, but then again that is nothing new for performers of any kind.
5/5 I'd like to see a film about the sisters. Their father sounds like a monster.
