\"\"<\/a>Suzi Quatro managed to leave a remarkable influence on female rockers, and how they operated in a world where men dominated, and women were objectified. Suzi Quatro has left such an indomitable stamp on the rock and music world, and \u201cSuzi Q\u201d offers keen insight not just in to the life of such an edgy musician, but in the oddly common conservative lifestyle of rock musicians.<\/p>\n

Directed by Liam Firmager\u00a0and\u00a0Tait Brady, \u201cSuzi Q\u201d is the story of the life of Suzi Quatro, a young aspiring rock star who spent much of her youth in and out of various bands. She eventually managed to join the Runaways as a teenager and experienced a tumultuous life of fame, sexism, objectification, and in group fights. Not to mention, she spent a lot of her career brushing with Hollywood, which didn\u2019t quite go over well with her band mates, when all was said and done.<\/p>\n

Quatro spent so much of her life running around with fellow female musicians and had to struggle with so many male influencers insisting she tow the line. There\u2019s even an uncomfortable clip for a talk show where she\u2019s introduced and has her behind smacked on air. Even in the clip\u2019s context, it\u2019s an uncomfortable moment that conveys Quatro\u2019s lack of control over much of how she was perceived and handled by others. The material with the Runaways is considerably glossed over, as the film focuses a lot more on the influence she had on her band mates.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s even an aside discussing how Joan Jett parroted a lot of Quatro\u2019s on stage moves, prompting their manager to insist on her creating her own presence. \u201cSuzi Q\u201d delves a lot in to the considerably straight laced lifestyle she led including her stint on \u201cHappy Days,\u201d her brush with fame on Broadway, her somewhat adversarial relationship with her sister, and her determination to raise a family which put her at odds with her business oriented husband. \u201cSuzi Q\u201d is an important chronicle of a very influential rock artist. While it doesn\u2019t entirely lend new insight, it\u2019s still a good occasion to celebrate the one and only Suzi Quatro.<\/p>\n
