"It was singing legend Sinéad O’Connor’s fate to be ahead of her time with her style and her political views, but also to command the world in the late 80s and early 90s with her beautiful keening, yodelling voice, her amazing shaven-headed charisma and her stunning cover of Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U. But she differed from the modern world in one crucial respect: her refusal to play nice, to read the room – that sin which terrifies the social media age most of all." – The Guardian
NOTHING COMPARES is the definitive documentary of Sinéad O'Connor's phenomenal rise to worldwide fame and how her iconoclastic personality resulted in her exile from the pop mainstream. Focusing on her prophetic words and deeds from 1987-1993, the film reflects on the legacy of this fearless artist through a contemporary feminist lens.
With 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, this documentary, and Sinead's story and truth, demand to be seen.
"Whether you’ve forgotten the details or didn’t know about them to begin with, Nothing Compares is here to remind us of what it really meant to have no f—s left to give in pop culture — and the price at least one person paid for it." – Rolling Stone
