My Mom Jayne

CriticsCritics: 80
AudienceAudience: 8.2

A daughter who lost her famous mother as a young child explores the woman behind the public image. Through interviews with siblings and a longtime associate, plus photographs, letters, footage, and belongings from the family’s past, she pieces together a more intimate portrait while confronting her own unanswered questions about family and identity.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy deeply personal documentaries such as I Am: Celine Dion or A Secret Love; Not for you if you want a focused, comprehensive biography with little family introspection.
