Directed by Kathryn Ferguson (Taking the Waters, Space to Be), the forthcoming ‘Nothing Compares’ documentary covers Sinéad OʼConnorʼs meteoric rise to worldwide fame and takes a look at how she used her voice at the height of her stardom, before her confrontational personality led to her exile from pop mainstream culture.
Featuring O’Connor’s prophetic words and deeds between the years 1987 to 1993, the film presents an authoritative, richly cinematic portrait of this fearless Irish singer/songwriter through a contemporary feminist lens.
Belfast-born Ferguson is an innovative and boundary-pushing director and ‘Nothing Compares’ is her documentary feature directorial debut that was an official selection in the World Cinema Documentary Competition at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. The movie has gone on to win additional awards at several 2022 film festivals, including Best Irish Documentary at Galway Film Fleadh, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at Aegean Film Festival, and the Audience Award at Docs Ireland.
‘Nothing Compares To You’ was the title of the Sinead O’Connor’s 1990 #1 worldwide single written and composed by Prince.
