Leave your thoughts about Jane Fonda in Five Acts.
| MediaMikesMichael A. SmithAt age 80, Jane Fonda is still going strong. Here's to act number six! |
| TheWrapAlonso DuraldeHers is a lot of life to try to capture in one movie, but Jane Fonda in Five Acts certainly covers her emotional arc with thoroughness and compassion. |
| RogerEbert.comNell MinowFonda’s own interviews are candid and insightful. Her regrets about the way she allowed herself to be used by the North Vietnamese are sincere but practiced. |
| Sarah's Backstage PassSarah Knight AdamsonThe poignancy of Fonda's point of view on the various topics adds tremendously to the unfolding of this excellent film. Fonda makes no excuses saying, "I am what I am." |
| The A.V. ClubGwen IhnatThroughout, the documentary offers glowing praise of Fonda that falls just short of fawning. Frankly, it’s difficult not to be impressed. Seventy-eight at the time of filming, the formidable Fonda personifies courage and strength in her interviews, even as she reveals tremendous vulnerabilities. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreLacy’s impressively thorough film forces anybody willing to watch it to reconsider her, measure her life’s work and legacy against that of her iconic father and appreciate the screen legend and cultural force she has been. |
| Film InquiryChloe WalkerThis a film that celebrates change and transformation; the power that comes from our ability to learn from our mistakes and to grow. Like the woman at the centre of it all, it's inspirational. |
| What She SaidAnne BrodieThe emotional and often raw documentary Jane Fonda in Five Acts, presents a woman of contradictions, an activist who ended a marriage to fulfill her need to make the world a better place |
| Malibu TimesDiane PershingThis HBO production is too long. And I found some of the modern day interviews somewhat self-serving and filled with inconsistencies. On the other hand, who among us can look back on long lives with total emotional and factual recall? |
| Onya MagazineGlenn DunksHer mug shot may be used as the central marketing hook, but there was so much more to Fonda than just "Hanoi Jane" and I liked that Five Acts gave equal weight to all of her work both on and off screen. |
