This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

The story of a human who knew what planet she was on and found her place in it.Note to Philip Glass: Using more notes does not make it more interesting or less intrusive.

Someone found a box of unused film clips that Jane Goodall's husband, cinematographer Hugo van Lawick, had left in a box and decided to piece them together into another Jane Goodall documentary. You'll see why van Lawick left them in a box because they are posed shots of Jane looking through binoculars, climbing trees, washing her hair, looking through binoculars, walking through the jungle, looking through binoculars, playing with a chimp, looking through binoculars, and looking through binoculars. Only reason to watch this is an attempt to induce an aneurysm.

It's always a nice feeling when you come out of a movie with a "Now that was GOOD!!"I remember Jane Goodall from those National Geographic documentaries and reading articles about her in the same magazine - years and years ago. But I never knew much about her. This film fills in those gaps - about who she is as an individual. And you learn about Chimpanzees too. I was surprised that she had absolutely no university training and background. She was a nature and animal lover - and brought a fresh perspective.The only quibble I have was that she states a few times that "she was on her own and alone". There were photographers with her and she had a base camp. Also the musical accompaniment was overdone.This is really a wonderful documentary on a now legendary and marvelous person.

The movie 'Jane' is about a scientist named Jane Goodall. Her life's work is to raise awareness for chimpanzees. During her life, Jane married and had a child. The cool thing about this movie is that, they interview the real Jane Goodall (now 83 years old). This movie gives you a new perspective of chimpanzees and Jane Goodall overall.
