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.

These 5 star reviews are so obviously fake. She’s a disgusting narcissist that shouldn’t have crawled back out from under her rock. Go away Jlo

These ratings are paid for too. What is going on? Is anything real anymore? JLO is so fake. This documentary is no different.

I don't know why this movie is in this categorie, cause I found it super interesting. I learned a lot about Jlo, that I didn't really understand. She got toxic relations again and again, because she was breaking inside, and I am exactly like her. I think if you don't like Jlo, this is because you don't know her. Cause now, I know why she reacted like this. You can be beautiful, rich, famous, but, if you never got someone for the good reason, who loves you for yourself, and accept you for the way you are, and understand you, you will be sad and lonely for the rest of your life.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I think that it great. It walks you through the behind the scenes and explains the feeling of the "mini movie". I believe we have all been through these phases in life in love and at the age (51), I can honestly say—I can relate in more ways than one. If a younger version of me Were seeing this, it would explain that chaos doesn't last forever and to seek self-love because once you master that, all else Falls into place!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

We didn't need the album, we didn't need the film, we didn't need this documentary and we won't need the tour. Far too many cringe moments in this what should be "mock-umentary" She wants us to believe she's a fighter for continuing production despite everyone saying otherwise. Hopefully she'll realize she shouldn't surround herself with yes people. This whole project was just a journey into narcissism. We don't need an update on a relationship from 20 years ago. The world has moved on from Jennifer Lopez and she's still stuck in this idea that she's interesting and relatable. #FreeBenAffleck

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

Variety

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.

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.

Common Sense Media

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

Fresh Fiction

Insightful, intimate and immediate, the artist’s brave, intuitive creative process takes center stage – and it’s nothing short of fascinating.

Rated: A-

The AU Review

As a personality who always seems to have her best foot forward when it comes to her image in the media, the stripped-back nature of The Greatest Love Story Never Told only strengthens Lopez’s portrayal as a relatable figure.

Rated: 4/5
