Jayne Mansfield, mi mamá

So well done. Poignant and touching. Many surprises that I never knew. So glad they touched on how intelligent Jayne was. I had no idea she was such a talented musician. So amazing to see that Mariska is doing what her mom wish she had transitioned to. A fantastic dramatic actress. I know Jayne is proud. Many moments had me crying but also some humorous moments.

Glad she shared some very secretive things about her life and was honestly shocked that no one knew. Especially with social media.

Touched by her siblings recounts of their memories of their mother. The end for me got me in the feels.

Just beautifully done.

I was surprised about how much this story about I was surprised about how much this story about Jane Mansfield's career, partners and children before and after her stardom and death, would move me emotionally. The directors approach to the unfolding of it all, telling it from her point of view and her personal struggles - and at the same time with the uttermost respect for anyone involved and around her, gripped me especially. I believe people all over the world will be able to relate to her life journey. Because this story has the ability to connect people from many walks of life, heal wounds and push them to continue their own journey with more understanding and love for others. This is an emotionally intelligent movie with high ethical awareness. Actually the kind that gives me hope for the future of the film industry in general. Well done director!

I've admired Mariska Hargitay and enjoyed her work as an actress for a long time. Now I'm even more impressed with the courage it took to share her complicated life story.

There is so much tragedy involved, but it makes me happy to know that as much tragedy as there was, there was even more love. And I'm glad that, to some degree, people were able to admit their mistakes and apologize for them.

It's rather head-spinning to think about the identity questions and issues involved and how it plays out over the years of secrecy and mystery. I hope this documentary receives the recognition it deserves.

I never leave reviews, but this doc was amazing. This documentary flowed so well from beginning to end. The interviews with her family really added depth and dimension to who Jayne was behind the scenes and it was fun to see Mariska's dynamics with them. The story and history in general, was interesting and so personal.

I lost my parent as a kid as well, and this got me in my feels. There's so much you really do forget overtime, or in Mariska's case don't remember at all. I'm happy she decided to make this doc and share her journey on this, and damn did she kill it. This is honestly her best work yet.

Mariska Hargitay directed this complicated but clear and concise timeline of her mother's career, relationships, and family life. It was so beautifully executed. I won't give too much away because it needs to be experienced to understand the nuances. It left me in tears, for Mariska, for her family, and for the true and deep love they have for one another. Thank you Mariska for sharing this beautiful journey with us. It's one I will never forget. God bless Jayne who lived so much life in her short time on earth, and God bless Mickey for showing the kind of unconditional love that is not of this earth.
