4/10
Quite good, but not the way JLo wanted it to be.

This is a bizarre little documentary. There were multiple points where I was shocked something had been left in - like Ben Affleck (rightfully) mocking the nonsensical title (how is it never told if you're telling it now??) to JLo telling the mud guys to use X mud then driving away without telling them WHICH mud. The most painful scene was Affleck saying how much it sucked to see a bunch of strangers passing around a book filled with his most private thoughts.

There's a trend right now of people going to therapy and becoming proficient in that language, but only to the extent that they can fluff themselves up or make others feel bad for them. That's basically all this is.

Here's a summary of JLo's "truth": she was a middle child with an attention-seeking mother and a father who worked nights. She had a relationship that ended because they had different values, then she had some bad relationships after and never got over the guy she almost married. She had 4 marriages before finally marrying guy 1 again, then proceeded to disrespect his values and desires on a global stage.

Girl, everybody had difficult parents. A lot of kids were middle children. Most of us had bad relationships, millions of us had ones who got away -- you truly aren't special, and nobody cares. You know what the rest of us lack? $40,000,000 of money to throw at a vanity project. Sit back down, lady, and treat the people in your life with more care.

For everyone else, this is a fun and short watch about a self obsessed, delusional woman who just yells "my truth" to contemporary dance moves and considers it art. What's not to love/hate about that?
