Nothing Compares focuses on the life and career of Dublin-born pop singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor, who first made a huge splash on the music scene in 1987 when she made her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra, which charted internationally. With her distinctly mesmerizing vocals, shaved head and huge green eyes, she was also a rebellious fashion plate.

In this cinematic and visually inventive documentary, Belfast director Kathryn Ferguson uses a feminist lens to shine a brighter light on singer/songwriter Sinéad O’Connor, with a focus on the early part of her career between 1987 and 1993, a time that highlights her meteoric rise and subsequent boot from the top for being a woman who spoke too loudly and too honestly.
