Directed by Jason Bergh, The Greatest Love Story Never Told follows Jennifer Lopez as she attempts her most daring project yet: independently producing a new album and cinematic original that explore her twenty-year journey to self-love. Intimate and empowering, the documentary offers unflinching access to Jennifer's most personal moments as she works hard to reclaim her narrative through the making of This Is Me... Now. From interviews with her inner circle, including producing partners and longtime collaborators, to candid home moments, this is a vulnerable portrait of an icon who put it all on the line and discovered a newfound determination in self-acceptance and love.

B-

Satisfying as this documentary might be in the greater story of Lopez’s personal growth, it barely hangs together on its own.

By harnessing not just the drive that made Lopez a superstar but the fragility (especially personal) inherent in its maintenance, Jason Bergh’s film accomplishes something unexpected: offering audiences a truly new way to look at her.

4/5

The Greatest Love Story Never Told gives viewers a glance at JLo’s love life and showcases why the singer, dancer, and actress was born to be a performer.

... An absolutely riveting anatomy of a bad relationship.

This doc is really most effective as a companion piece to This Is Me…Now, Jennifer Lopez’s glittery meta movie/video experiment that puts her new music into motion.

The insight from this explainer infuses that rather odd earlier film, which Lopez self-financed, with new meaning.

She's not a talented person. She reaped what she sowed.

Painful to watch. Didn't realize bad acting could be relevant in a documentary.

Give her a break! This was not anywhere near the way Tik Tok made it out to be. Go JLO!

The scenes were Jane Fonda is telling her do not do this she should have listened, and the bit were the assistant is naming half the industry Taylor Swift said no, everybody in the universe said no is cringe, her ego is so out of control its beyond a joke

WTF did I just watch? This was beyond bad. It's funny how she tries to make herself look good but OMG does it make her look bad AF. It made me feel so bad for Ben.
