Customer Reviews

A Treasure for a Treasure
Florence Foster Jenkins was in some ways a national treasure who certainly shared her love of music in her own unique way. She is a part of American music folklore, one that contributed to legendary stories and great amusement over her varied gifts. Mr. Collup has created an honest, loving, and ulitmately touching portrait of a remarkable soul. His tribute is certainly one of the most honest of all the recent works attempting to tell her story, complete with amazing photographs and recordings of her singular vocal performances.

Queen of the High Shrieks
Most of us have laughed along to Florence Foster Jenkins butchering the Queen of the Nights aria. It has become a party classic and for good reason. It's nice to know a little about the woman other than that she was the worst "professional" opera singer of the 20th century. With no actual footage of her performing, the makers of this film have done a masterful job of telling her story and explaining her "craft."

Folklore...follow your dreams
Anyone who sings should be in touch with the story of Florence Foster Jenkins. She showed that friends can sustain a person, to a point.It's a sad story about a fine woman who meant well. As a singer, I know many people like her.
