Lydia Lunch: The War Is Never Over
2019 · Movie · 75 min · ★ 7.0 · 89% critics
This career-spanning documentary looks at a fiercely confrontational artist who rose from New York City’s late-1970s No Wave scene. Through music and spoken-word performance, it becomes a defiant rallying cry about women claiming pleasure, speaking freely, and turning to art as a way to face trauma and attacks.

About
If you enjoy uncompromising music-and-performance documentaries with a strong feminist edge and a rallying, cathartic tone, this should land; Not for you if you want a calm, neutral profile like Hal or In Search of Greatness.
Pros: bold, confrontational energy; empowering message; art as rallying cry | Cons: abrasive tone; intense subject matter; not a traditional review
