‘Let the Canary Sing’ Review: A Cyndi Lauper Documentary Captures Her Cracked Pop Joy, but It’s Too Celebratory to Dig Into the Drama

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic When you see a documentary about a game-changing pop star, you assume you’re going to get the story of the music, and also a good look at the life, and that there’ll be enough (on both counts) to go around. I was eager to see “Let the Canary Sing,” a documentary portrait of Cyndi Lauper, because it’s directed by Alison Ellwood, who made “The Go-Go’s” a few years back, and that movie had everything: the drama, the trauma, the saga of a total pop-music reset, as we watched the Go-Go’s bust down doors that had been too tightly shut for too long. Cyndi Lauper was no less revolutionary a figure, arriving in the early ’80s, along with Madonna, to announce that we were in the midst of a seismic new definition of what it meant to be a female pop star. The definition was: a star who could rule — and change — the world.

‘Laurel Canyon’ Director Alison Ellwood on Bringing L.A. Rock’s ’60s/’70s Golden Age Back to Life

Chris Willman Music WriterLaurel Canyon is a very real place, but it comes off almost as a Brigadoon-style dream in the commemoration of the L.A. rock scene of the late ’60s and early ’70s that is director Alison Ellwood’s “Laurel Canyon.”The first half the two-part docuseries on Epix, which premiered May 31, threw a spotlight onto the Byrds, Doors, Buffalo Springfield, Mamas and the Papas, Love, Frank Zappa and others who drove the counterculture in the years leading up to Woodstock, and how they were folksy neighbors in L.A.’s least urban enclave.

'Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time': TV Review

With Laurel Canyon, Alison Ellwood goes to the source: Her stirring composite portrait of a vibrant, groundbreaking music scene is built almost entirely from archival stills and footage, much of the material rare and some of it never before viewed publicly. The voices we hear belong to people who were there, and they have stories to tell — some that will be familiar to aficionados, and some that illuminate whole new corners of a well-traveled pop-culture history.

Michelle Phillips, Chris Hillman, Micky Dolenz & More Talk 'Laurel Canyon' Memories

Micky Dolenz says that explaining what happened in Los Angeles' Laurel Canyon neighborhood from the mid-60s into the '70s "is a little bit like Rashomon. You're gonna get a different sort of take from everybody."But Alison Ellwood, director of Laurel Canyon, the comprehensive two-part documentary airing May 31 and June 7 on Epix, did find an answer in those varied viewpoints -- basically that there is no answer."It's like (David) Crosby says at the end of the film -- there's no explaining why or how it happened," Ellwood, who also helmed History of the Eagles and The Go-Go's, among other documentaries, tells Billboard.
