Karen Carpenter: Starving for Perfection

Randy Martin
2023 | USA | 99 min

The beauty of Karen Carpenter’s melancholic, silky, and inimitable voice, coupled with the harmonies alongside her brother Richard, made The Carpenters one of the most successful pop groups of the 1970s. However, this success sharply contrasts with the suffering of the singer, who tragically passed away at the age of 30 due to anorexia nervosa. The film gathers the testimony of illustrious admirers and intimate friends to pay tribute to her talent and to comprehend the relentless pursuit of perfection and the suffocating, toxic family dynamics that ultimately led to her tragic fate.

Starring: Olivia Newton-John, Carol Burnett, Belinda Carlisle, Kristin Chenoweth, Carnie Wilson
