"The 98-minute film finds Love at her home in London, where she relocated more than five years ago for a quieter, more grounded life. I was two and a half years sober, she says in the film. I came over here with a winter wardrobe and a dog. I, like, removed myself from everybody. What I didn't have was anything rational or grounded."
"Antiheroine finds Love writing music again after two unsuccessful albums and more than a decade away from the spotlight, grappling with ageing, her volatile past in the spotlight and her abrasive reputation I didn't think about likability ever, she says in voiceover at the start of the film. Likability was not a factor. But Love magnetized fans with an unfiltered, insanely honest aspect, says the REM frontman Michael Stipe, a close friend of Love's who appears in the film along with musicians Melissa Auf der Maur, Eric Erlandson, Billie Joe Armstrong, Patty Schemel and Butch Walker."
