"How do I want to be remembered? As a kind human being - nothing more nothing less." Well Sandra, two out of three ain't bad. I'm sure, however, you are remembered for much more.
Clean is a "touch soul" homage and it is so quite proficiently. Documentary puritans may argue that it only tells one side of many issues such as; depression, gender dysphoria, drug addiction and prostitution - but it, very early, becomes clear that Clean hasn't set out to address those issues.
Instead Clean sets out to depict the life and resilience of Sandra Pankhurst - and it does so eloquently. It is at times a sad portrayal but it one full of the essence of life - covering the plight, the setbacks and victories of one person. And it does... portray as a good person.
Clean is, from many aspects, an empathetic documentary - both requiring it from the viewer and visualising it in Sandra. If total objectivity is your prerequisite there is nitpicking to be done. If on the other side you are inspired by "good people" Clean offers an inspired homage.
