Blues and folk singer Karen Dalton was a prominent figure in 1960s New York. Idolized by Bob Dylan and Nick Cave, Karen discarded the traditional trappings of success and led an unconventional life until her early death. Since most images of Karen have been lost or destroyed, the documentary uses Karen's dulcet melodies and interviews with loved ones to build a rich portrait of this singular woman and her hauntingly beautiful voice.

Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack)

"Karen Dalton: In Her Own Time" does what it can with its paucity of material, stretching out the few photos and fewer live performances into a palimpsest, traces of a life lived creatively if not well.

Rated: 3/4 •

Chicago Reader

It's as much a meditation on class and gender politics as it is a trip down memory lane.

Uncut Magazine [UK]

She emerges with all of her contradictions intact: confident in herself as an artist, relatably conflicted as a human being.

Though the truth about Karen's life is no prettier than the myths and rumors that have swirled around her, she deserves to be remembered for the person she was rather than the person people thought she was-or wanted her to be.

Rated: 3/4 •

It's a sad story, but also an intriguing one, not least because her talent remains so distinctive.

This movie felt like an extension of one of Karen's songs. Which to me, makes it a perfect music documentary.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
