""What Happened," (...) traces Simone's life from her early childhood as a piano prodigy named Eunice Waymon to her troubled years - mentally, physically, spiritually - and finally her later return to glory ... Like a lot of documentarians, Ms. Garbus lets her choices speak for her, and she occasionally errs, both in some of her sight-and-sound juxtapositions and by folding in too much of Simone's ex-husband, Andrew Stroud ... What's missing are dialectics".

"With a title from a quote by poet Maya Angelou, this DVD/CD package captures a significant chunk of the artistic and personal life of Nina Simone ... Simone's own voice-over narrative was certainly a factor in this film being nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Documentary (Feature). The film is bundled with a CD of music from the documentary as well as extra tracks".
