, focused on films by women, trans or nonbinary directors that tell compelling stories about the lives of women and girls.One of the best things about director Alexandria Bombach’s documentary about folk rock duo The Indigo Girls,, which premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, is its easygoing intimacy.
One of my college roommates and many of my friends in the late ’90s were absolutely obsessed with the Indigo Girls and, as such, their music punctuated my daily life for several years. If you’re a fan of their music, the documentary will trigger some welcome nostalgia and read as a charming look into the lives and work of two women whose music served as a soundtrack for a generation, particularly those who were teens and twenty-somethings coming out as LGBTQ+ in the late ’80s and ’90s.
Contrary to fan speculation, Ray and Saliers never dated each other, but they have and still are dedicated to a friendship full of mutual support, weathering moments of tension—like when Ray’s outgoing personality had her willing to be out in public well before the more private Saliers—with understanding.
At heart, Ray and Saliers partnership takes center stage in a film filled with charming self-reflexivity and honesty, allowing them space to discuss the trajectory of their lives, talk about their songs, and consider the reception of both their music and their identities at a time when much of the public was still hostile to the LGBTQ+ community.
