Film Review: Little Richard biopic celebrates a rock pioneer

Cortés argues that Little Richard created the template for the rock icon and she’s got the receipts, tracing his musical …

It's a one-woman show of grit that’s simultaneously harrowing and empowering. Conceptually, it will remind you of Buried, and it does imbue a similar feeling of a noose tightening around our …
