Leave your thoughts about Mary J. Blige's My Life.
| Los Angeles TimesMichael OrdonaWhere the documentary succeeds most plangently is in its fan testimonials of the album’s impact and Blige’s emotional recollections of the songs’ roots. |
| RogerEbert.comRobert DanielsDespite its over orchestration, director Vanessa Roth’s slight, hagiographic documentary Mary J. Blige’s My Life, manages to provide profound truths concerning its self-admitted insecure subject. |
| VarietyAndrew BarkerThere’s a valedictory glossiness to the film that sometimes underserves the warts-and-all power of the work in question – as a fan-centric retrospective, it hits plenty of the right notes; but as a chance to more thoroughly explore a complicated, still-influential landmark, it never digs quite deeply enough. |
| The Observer (UK)Simran HansFootage of recent concerts and meet and greets is included to showcase both her imperious glamour and how far she’s come, yet we never really get a sense of where she’s been, let alone My Life’s musical and cultural context. |
| User ReviewLisakAlthough I love Mary J Blige the entire movie went over and over and over and over the same thing? I understand she went through hard times but it’s my belief that she overcame them and has had amazing successes but yet not much of anything is mentioned about her good life now she talks about the projects like they’re a disease I wonder what she’s done to reach out and help people in the projects there’s no show or mention of that? I think the worst part is when her fans are pouring out their hearts to her in person telling her that she save their lives and she’s like a statue and says OK let’s take the shot comes across very unfeeling comes across very selfish and indulging in one’s situation Expand |
