I watched this only because my girlfriend wanted to. I was barely aware of O'Connor at the height of her career and don't care for a lot of her music.
But this is a really interesting documentary about a rather fascinating character. As portrayed here, she is the classic be-true-to-yourself artist, willing to risk her career for her prinsiples. This is stylishly filmed and has a clear, compelling narrative. And O'Connor is more likeable than I expected (having seen nothing of her except the clip of her tearing up the pope's picture).
There is one very surprising omission in this documentary, but the credits explain why that is. It's really annoying that someone made that decision, but it's still an excellent documentary and highly recommended.
