Garbus's documentary is a celebration of Simone's legacy, but it also takes a reasonably unflinching approach to her faults... the real joy here is the music, and the archival footage of Simone doing what she did best: singing, playing piano, performing.

It may not answer What Happened, Miss Simone?, but it does tell us why the question must be asked and will be asked, for a very long time.

As music and cultural critic Stanley Crouch says, "You only have to hear her once. No one sounds like her except her."

Los Angeles Times
Garbus makes the very smart decision to allow Simone’s talent to be the main subject of WHAT HAPPENED, MISS SIMONE' We see some songs in their entirety, like a breathtaking 'I Love You, Porgy'...

I had some problems with What Happened, Miss Simone? but still found it worthwhile, mainly due to the inclusion of rare archival footage that I had never seen before.

Woman in Revolt
Rating: B --
We may now have jarring insights into the mother, the activist and the tortured soul at the root of Simone's career, but it's the legendary songstress who ultimately shines through.

Rating: 3/5 --
Structurally and content-wise it's near perfect: the film cleverly opens on a thematising visual anecdote before taking us back to the beginning of Simone's life.
