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.

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

Todd Gilchrist

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.

Decider

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.

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

Great behind the scenes documentary opening up to the process, hard work, doubts, setbacks, adjustments and difficulties faced even by A-listers trying to bring their vision to reality. I’m sure this happens a lot, just never shown, so it is great for the public to be able to see the process. Lovely chemistry, love and understanding between Jennifer and Ben, their banters are real and they are very relaxed, gentle and affectionate around each other, just like me and hubs :). The fact that Artists Equity produced this doc shows the commitment and support they provide each other. Many of the negative comments here on RT are not objective and very biased. Let’s promote a kinder world all around.

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
