Little Richard: I Am Everything

Original title: Little Richard: I Am Everything

98 minutes • 2023 • 6.4 Score

The story of the black, gay origins of rock n' roll. It explodes the whitewashed canon of American pop music to reveal the innovator – the originator – Richard Penniman. Through a wealth of archive and performance that brings us into Richard's complicated inner world, the film unspools the icon's life story with all its switchbacks and contradictions.
