It addresses topics as diverse as motherhood, sexism suffered by Jennifer Lopez, her struggles and her disappointments.

A film that revisits the career of the forties through archive footage, but also more recent sequences, in which we see her dancing, or delivering an inspiring speech.

“As an artist, I don't just ask myself if I went on camera, but if the camera understood me, we hear him say.

Because I can do both at the same time.

“Diva” or “serial bride”

The program also revisits the sexist diatribes to which the 50-year-old was exposed.

She admits to having believed in the titles of the tabloids, which qualified her sometimes as a “diva”, sometimes as a “serial bride”.

The documentary includes a sequence in which journalist Billy Bush asks her what she thinks of her buttocks.

Amanda Micheli has also collected the reaction of Ben Affleck, fiancé of the singer from 2002 to 2004, then from April 2022 to today.

“I said to him one day… Does all this not bother you?

thus relates the actor.

She replied: "I expected it".

“My self-esteem was at an all-time low”

A film in which Jennifer Lopez also evokes her self-confidence, often weakened.

She returns in particular to her lack of nomination for the Oscars.

"It was hard," she recalls.

My self-esteem was at an all-time low.

I really had to figure out who I was, believe it, and not believe anything else."

The program also shows the singer with her daughter Emme, or during rehearsals for her shows.



“I am not doing this for any price, she underlines in a sequence.

But to communicate with people, to make them feel things, because I want them to feel something."

And the artist concludes: “All my life, I fought to be heard, to be seen, to be taken seriously.

I think my life is just beginning.”

A documentary that will be presented at the Tribeca Festival on June 8, then unveiled on Netflix on June 14.
