1-800-On-Her-Own is a 2024 American documentary film about the life and career of singer-songwriter Ani DiFranco.[1][2] It is directed by Dana Flor.
Reception
Robyn Bahr of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "You know you're wasting time on a documentary when you feel the urge to Wikipedia its subject while you're in the middle of watching an entire feature film devoted to them. And once I had finished Dana Flor's tedious music biodoc 1-800-ON-HER-OWN, I oddly felt like I knew even less about folk-rock legend Ani DiFranco than I did going into it."[1]
Andrew Parker of TheGATE.ca gave the film a score of 5 out of 10, writing, "[O]utside of a handful of illuminating moments, 1-800-On-Her-Own is a thin documentary. There's not much of a beginning or end, a minimal amount of context, and only a small handful of voices speaking about the DiFranco and the influence she has undoubtedly had on folk music and other artists."[3]
