Review: ‘Dumplin’ Embraces the Camp and Culture Surrounding Dolly Parton
The legend of Dolly Parton is almost as large as her hair. The singer/songwriter/entertainer deserves her place as an American treasure. There's something about her that will always scream Americana, but her meta-humor about her career makes her stand out as an idol.
