Remarkable documentary.
Eminently successful at portraying the former first lady's flaws because it allows her to describe them herself.
Fascinating and impressively balanced documentary.
But even though Marcos, in this film, provides enough material for a few hundred giggles and head-shakings, she also shows a pathetically human side.
When she's not babbling about the weird symbological system that rules her personal cosmos Imelda is an entertaining storyteller, vividly describing a life that became a national embarrassment and a camp legend.
Captures a complex and contradictory world figure. Imelda is by turns humorous, insightful and infuriating.
Entertaining as it is, Imelda seems all too willing to take her at her word.
