    Every year, a different group of people win an Academy Award. And every year, the same woman doesn’t. Her name is Diane Warren, she’s one of the greatest American songwriters of the last several decades, and she’s now been nominated 15 times without taking home a single…

    I’m happy that Diane Warren has already won and Oscar , because this has no chance to win Best Original Song.  Diane Warren has had a wild life , and this documentary captures it pretty well. Nothing crazy about this , just a standard documentary.  Oscar Feature Length…

    While it’s an obvious play to perhaps earn that elusive Oscar for best song, there are some interesting revelations here. I had no idea she has been diagnosed with Asperger’s. I found it incredibly interesting how her being sued early in her career had the unintended…

    I was curious enough to check out the subject matter because she is a musical tour de force and I am always fascinated by passionate individuals and have an odd fascination with music popularity without wanting to listen to it. So I was curious to check out this pop pioneer…

    It really is so stupid that Sam Smith won that Oscar for the bad James Bond song.

    Diane Warren: Relentless

    It is so clear the level of genius Diane Warren operates at and how iconic her work has been in pop culture, in the past. However, I largely thought this documentary was directionless and more like it was to give Warren props for her work and stroke her ego as opposed to actually reveal some truth…

    Diane Warren: Relentless

    This is a wonderful documentary. Everyone knows one of her songs which is so crazy to think about. She is unapologetic and who she wants to be and she is her own boss. Definitely recommend!

Each one of these performers uses the same adjective to describe the songwriter: “relentless.” Many more interviewees will testify that Warren earned the bracelet she wears — the one that says “relentless as [BLEEP].”

Even if you don’t care for Warren’s tunes, this movie is likely to make you a fan.

Blunt, brassy and chatty, she makes for a refreshingly open host of her own life story.
