Karen Dalton: In My Own Time

Watch Trailer
2021 · 87 min Documentary Music
5.8 / 10 · TMDB

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 film uses Karen's dulcet melodies and interviews with loved ones to build a rich portrait of this singular woman and her hauntingly beautiful voice.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its portrait by relying on the primary source: Dalton's own haunting recordings, which serve as the emotional and narrative backbone. Interviews with those who knew her sketch impressions rather than facts, honoring her elusive nature.

What lingers after the final frame is not a biography, but the echo of a raw, uncompromising spirit and a voice that feels both timeless and tragically lost. — MovieFinder Editorial
