Shawna D So touching and intimate. I was in happy tears at the end. Well done. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Casey N I enjoyed the documentary but I will agree with one other reviewer; it def seemed like a “poor me” story from Mariska….if it was truly about her mother none of her personal issues should’ve been discussed. Mickey & Ellen however are 10/10. Not sure why her (Mariskas) personal stories were shared tbh. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 08/07/25 Full Review J J It's a documentary that no matter how long you make it, you can never tell everyone's side of the story, however, this documentary feels like it does it's very best. Mickey Hargitay and Ellen Siano seem like remarkable people. The film is full of remarkable people who lived life the best they could. It's an incredibly human dissection of life. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Colleen P This film is not about Jayne Mansfield, it is Mariska Hargitay's "poor me" life story. She found out Mickey Hargitay wasn't her father and this is her sharing her story. Granted the first part of the film has a lot of clips and back stories about Jayne but it is mostly about Mariska. If she truly wanted the story to be about her mom, there would have been more interviews with those that knew her and interview footage of Jayne rather than "Maria" giving her opinion about those that outed her illegitimacy and her bonding with her 1/2 siblings and finally getting her mom's coveted piano. She should have paid tribute to her dad Mickey, and stepmom they are the heroes in her story. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/29/25 Full Review MaryAnn T I knew nothing at all about Jayne Mansfield except how gorgeous she was in the still photos I've seen. I was aware she was Mariska Hargitay's mother, and that as a very young child was in the car accident which killed her mom as well. Her dad Mickey, whom she adored had been deeply in love with her mom, and mourned her loss most of his life. Wow! This debut documentary film by Mariska has a gut punch surprise that is a jaw dropper, it is also incredibly well crafted. A fitting homage to her mother that Mariska can be proud of as a director but especially a daughter. I could say much more but...spoilers. 🙊 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/28/25 Full Review Tommy H This twisting and tuning documentary will have you up and down and still is shock at the end. Have a box of tissues handy you will need them. I watched it once and two weeks later loved it again and like I never saw it before. Mariska did an outstanding job and deserves all the accolades this show is awarded and I hope there are many. Still wiping my eyes. Much love to the whole extended family for sharing their heartfelt and personal story. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
