    It’s such a lovely thing--Cher helping her mother realize her dream after all these years--that I was able to let go of the special’s ulterior motive.

    It's a revealing doc whose biggest crime is too much dish and too little detail. [10 May 2013, p.61]

    Despite being loving and sweet, the documentary feels four decades too late and a million dollars short if Cher was really serious about why she made this movie--to help Holt achieve her life-long dream of a singing career.

    This gentle 42-minute look at the life of Georgia Holt is pleasant, sentimental and sweet.
