Halftime (2022)
1/10
Documentary as chaotic as JLO career
12 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
What hits most in this so called documentary is whining. Whining about media attention, whining about being on front pages because of the way she dresses, whining about having to share a show with equally (or more) popular (and talented) artist and whining about the fact that she would like to be great at everything, but out of acting, singing and dancing only the last one is of decent quality. Half of the documentary is full of moaning about how her one decent(ish) movie is not pilled with awards and nominations when her whole career is full of cheap in plot and horrible in acting rom coms where all she does is to play herself. The other half is moaning about how she has to share a stage with Shakira, while in reality neither her voice or her songs qualify her to hold this kind of a show on her own. JLO wanted to bring attention to discrimination and sexism in American show business, but she is doing it in such a pretentious way that the message is getting lost in a sea of constant complaints and feeling sorry for herself. Shame as it could be a powerful message to fellow Latina women and the World in general, but what it ends up to be is yet another example of why Jennifer gained a reputation of being a diva.
