It's easy to see that the story is drawn from the life of Janis Joplin. Bette Midler was a great choice to play the title role, capturing the free spirit and wild life the that Rose chose over conventional family life. Her struggle to decide between the two comes across with authenticity due to Midler's portrayal and a reality-based script. The movie has true dramatic value, without becoming melodramatic.

Multi-talented, the Divine Miss M is a MONSTER in this role! This was her very first starring role in a major motion picture…and what a stellar performance. At the time of release, it was rumored to be a bio-pic of Janis Joplin’s tumultuous life and career. However close the comparison, it was more of a composite of how artists of the day, became slaves to the BUSINESS of the music industry – leading to their demise by naïve exploitation or their own hand. The musical performances are electrifying – A-list quality! Her performance is unlike anything she has done since [think: Disney]…poignant, wild, crazy, and tragic. Bette Midler gives a flagship performance that stands the test of time. One of the few artists who can make you laugh and cry within a matter of seconds. If you have not seen it – especially – if you’re a Midler fan…this is a MUST-SEE! She’s BEAUTIFUL Read full review
