08/12/2020 In the vein of a Ken Burns' documentary, this one tells the story of an often misunderstood Southern Catholic writer of the mid-20th Century. Mary Flannery O'Connor ... who took the Southern novel/short story and turned it on its head ... is lovingly dealt with in this movie. Dying at 39, just when her literary genius was getting going, O'Connor wrote because she HAD to write ... she couldn't care less for her critics (whether critical of her stories or critical of her religion) ... what an amazing woman. This documentary is a MUST-See for anyone interested in Catholic authors ... Southern authors ... American literature ... See more 08/07/2020 I haven't seen the movie yet, only the trailor. How can I get a copy? See more 07/29/2020 One of the best bio-docs I've seen. Comprehensive, well researched, and artfully presented. The fusion of narration, photos, archival interview footage with music and animation is brilliant. Much like O'Connor was not your typical writer, Flannery is not your typical documentary. Lit geeks, Teachers, Readers, O'Connor fans...worth your time. See more 07/24/2020 Beautifully done. Superb. See more 07/22/2020 I thought it was fantastic! See more Read all reviews
