Jennifer Lopez: Halftime

First of all I love to watch celebrity or singers documentary but this one didn't give me anything new. Maybe I don't live in USA and because of that I don't feel the meaning what she represents... last 20 mins of the documentary was super politic. I think at a point all celebrities earn too much money and when satisfaction level is full, they start to talk about politics.. This is super normal because they have power... Also I did read some comments about narcissism, guys please be realistic if you want to be superstar in this world you have to be. She is like a perfectionist but he must be also... Anyway i watched this documentary but unfortunately I didn't feel anything, for example I didn't cry or I didn't feel sad at all... also when I realize that end of the day jlo earns million dollars and I write comments here :) so that didn't wake me up or motivate..

Jennifer Lopez, the name alone a million things come to mind, Songs, Movies, Pop Culture Moments. She has solidified herself into a Business that wasn't always welcoming to Latinas.

The format of "Halftime" is pretty standard-issue, but within that frame is the vitality and strident personality of an artist who has consistently, unapologetically done things her own way, Jennifer Lopez has broke boundaries in the Film, Music and Fashion industries, she is a staple of pop culture.

Something "Halftime" does so well is portray JLo's personality in a way we have seen her before on thing such as American Idol and World Of Dance but also connects with the viewers in a way i didnt think she could honestly. 75/100.

Jennifer Lopez has always been a perfectionist. She never leaves a single stone unturned and this documentary is a marvelous example of the same. Performing hits after hits at the superbowl and offering a backstage look this is an amazing watch! JLo really showed why she's a force to be reckoned with. From captivating visuals to firecrackers to ginormous stages to intricate details to amazing choreography to live instruments and vocals (something we rarely see in pop culture anymore), JLo impressed the millions who watched the show and now will watch this Netflix Film!

I've watched just about all of these Netflix Artist driven films released in the past couple years (Beyonce, Shawn Mendes, Ariana Grande, Lady Gaga ect) i can honestly say between this film and Taylor Swifts "Miss American" both are equally as great. They give you a glimpse into the artists life that is raw and powerful every artist who gets one of these films is deserving but what Jennifer Lopez did here is inspiring, she's passed 50 (hence the Halftime metaphor) and shows even in the latter part of ones life, it can be just the tip of what you can accomplish.

If you watch this in June 2022, chances are you're probably aware of all the bad presses/social media hate that JLo has received surrounding this documentary (i.e. "rivalry with Shakira", "crying over Oscars snub"). Let's clarify this right away, all of the negativity was due to dialogues and scenes taken totally out of context for clickbait. Ironically enough, the media and societal treatment to JLo is one of the topics in this documentary, so it really drives home how after nearly 30 years in the business, this absolutely unfair, horrible treatment that people give to this woman remain nearly the same. But that adversity really puts into perspective of how special Jennifer Lopez - JLo - Jenny from the Block is. As it's said in the documentary, people really take her for granted. The documentary is chaotic because it juggles between her music, movie and personal life - but that's expected when you do a documentary about someone who can do it all successfully. One thing the documentary is very successfully at is showing how there's literally nobody else in the business doing what she does at her caliber. The amount of hard work, determination, stamina, strength and talent that it takes to juggles 3 and a half full time careers as a woman is insane. And yet, the industry hasn't been given her the recognition she deserves, and the hate from people that she receives due to misinformation is borderline bullying at this point. After watching this documentary, if you are a fan of JLo, you will grow to appreciate her discipline and drive even more. And if you are a hater, maybe you will take a look at how unfair you have been treating this woman - not everyone needs to be a fan, but one could really give credit where it's due and not fuel the hate.
