A deeply personal exploration of family and grief as Charlotte comes to terms with the mystical connection she shares with her mother.

| Feb 13, 2024

A love letter to mothers and daughters everywhere, the film encourages us to look at our loved ones with both admiration as well as compassion. After all, were just human. Even our mothers.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 27, 2022

My only wish is that Charlotte had not directed this herself... We might have gotten an even more profound look at the things all these conversations raises.

| Apr 19, 2022

Works well as a mother-daughter piece... It's a little bit self-indulgent, but I nevertheless found it fascinating.

Undeniably, what distinguishes “Jane by Charlotte” from any number of filmic or literary excavations that exist on Birkin hinges on the unbreakable union between its subject and its storyteller.

| Mar 25, 2022

It leaves one wanting more, in the least satisfying way possible.

| Mar 24, 2022

The rocky relationship between a famous mother-daughter duo is gently mended in Jane by Charlotte, an intimate memory portrait that reminisces as much as it reprimands.

| Original Score: 7.6/10 | Mar 21, 2022

Jane By Charlotte is an intimate look at Jane Birkin through the eyes of her daughter, Charlotte Gainsbourg.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 21, 2022

JANE BY CHARLOTTE has the loose construction of home movies. While that makes for some warm moments, it also gives little context for comments and events that could enhance the emotional impact.

| Mar 19, 2022

Jane by Charlotte is meaningful in concept, but fleeting in its expression.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 18, 2022

Defiantly insular and lacking in context.

| Mar 17, 2022

For a muse such as Birkin, the act of being on camera is a bridge for her daughter to connect to her, one that Gainsbourg happily exploits.

| Mar 17, 2022

Clearly, Jane by Charlotte is not intended to be viewed as a traditional documentary, no matter how intimate. Which begs the question of what the film does intend to be.

| Original Score: C | Mar 17, 2022

Provides more of a vignette than a rounded picture.

| Mar 17, 2022

Boring is as boring does. There's just nothing here.

| Original Score: ZERO STARS | Mar 17, 2022

Gainsbourg manages to peer inside her mothers life and lifestyle with an honesty that should make audiences nervous and envious at the same time, seeking answers we may want from our parents but are afraid of enough to be reluctant to ask.

| Original Score: B | Mar 16, 2022

The stakes are low, drama minimal, structure formless. It makes for a viewing experience that is occasionally enjoyable and largely unengaging.

| Original Score: C | Mar 16, 2022

For fans of either ladies, this is a great film. For those who are just midly curious, the appeal gets lost quite early on.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2022

The film neglects to find a conceptual framework for its prolonged consideration of Charlotte Gainsbourg’s eventual revelation: “I have always loved you, but it’s much clearer to me now.”

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 15, 2022

Gainsbourgs love for her motherwho quit acting in 2016is clear in every frame. Jane by Charlotte is a labor of love.
