One of the best documentaries. Flows and moves like an actual movie, with a narrative that moves so effortlessly with a clear beginning, middle, and end. Brett Morgen should really be applauded for giving this such a rich pathos and a clear thematic focus; it feels so cinematic, and has a real sense of progression. To see such parallels between Goodall's duties as both a wife and mother when compared to her animal subjects is so endearing, especially knowing that this is real footage being used; in that light, this is one of the year's best edited films.

British Chimpanzee expert Jane Goodall is the subject of this American documentary which includes footage of her early research in Gombe, Tanzania in the 1950s and 1960s plus current interviews and narration made specifically for this film. The highest praise must go to the film footage preservationists who have maintained perfect prints of the colourful adventures in what was very high risk in unknown territory six decades ago. The superb footage is enhanced with Goodall's clear narration and a pleasurable score by Philip Glass. The first half is thrilling as it includes very surprising information of how Goodall was chosen for this mission especially regarding her background. The second half is still engaging but it has less novelty than the beginning. It still provides a lot of fascinating history though, including Goodall's personal life and the evolution of the chimp community with which she bonds. As the film evolves, it is easy to see that Goodall's patience must have been one of the reasons she was selected for the task. Even when the animals stay close to her, she knows to avoid touching them until the right moment. An unfulfilled curiosity is the lives and personalities of local Tanzanians who assist the mission. But the star attraction and the fabulous footage make this viewing worthwhile. What is most amazing is how Jane Goodall looks really very similar to how she did sixty years ago despite the inevitable effects of aging. Waiter, I'll have what she's having. - dbamateurcritic.

JANE Although I've watched shows and news coverage about Jane Goodall through the years, I found this documentary to be a fresh take on the beloved subject, Jane. The narrative follows Jane's personal development on a parallel track with a close chronicle of her work. I learned a lot about Jane that I didn't know, and I want to learn more. I appreciated that the film is simple, quiet, and narrated in Jane's own calming voice. I find her physical presence to be lovely and uplifting and the footage that was just found in the past few years is fascinating and beautiful.

The story itself is quite good. Is a story worth telling absolutely. I also found the shots, the cinematography in general, very pleasing too. What it was a bit unfitting is the music and sometimes these editing sequences which gave me the feeling I was watching a trailer that lasts for an hour and a half. The music, which was the same rhythm over and over again, was many times overwhelming and too much. I think it didn't serve the image well enough and so did the editing sometimes. It was sometimes fast without a reason, just shots over another shots. It was if the pace of the film was unstable and it was weird because you don't expect that from these kind of documentaries. I truly believe if the music was more appropriate and the editing more careful the movie would've been even more beautiful.

Now don't expect this documentary to give you a solution on the question that might haunt some of us. Are we related to apes? Now there are other places to find answers to that. If they comforting or even final is another story. This story right here, concerns a woman who lives with and amongst apes. The structure is really good and the movie builds up. Now this is something that really happened and the footage shows us a lot of things. For some it may feel a bit boring, but it's the small things that really elevate this. Be it how step by step she comes closer to the monkeys (no pun intended). Interviews and other things, and of course life itself intervene or at least throw obstacles in her way. Really interesting and intriguing at the same time

Jane Goodall is a pioneer of primatologist. Her work was controversial at the time for many reasons. In this documentary, Jane does the narration with occasional questions from the interviewer. She goes into detail about her life and thoughts. Jane was a remarkable and fearless woman and has been my idol since childhood. This is a beautiful look into her life. Some say the found footage is posed... of course it is. It's cut pieces of various National Geographic documentaries about her work. It was used to help bring them funding by focusing on a brave, beautiful young woman facing the hardships alone. There are naturally some posed shots. Also some personal home movie type shots. And some of the iconic footage at the end that are so well known.

I was curious about the work of Jane Goodall. So I jumped at the occasion to see this documentary. Than, a few minutes in I noticed it to be rather meh. I mean, it's old footage stitched together. I am sure it is a lot of work for the production team, but most junk requires a lot of work and it is still junk. And for most of it, the movie just looks like just another nature documentary. It works if you are a fan. Otherwise it loses the novelty quite fast. Yet this film has proven me wrong. The whole arc is a circle. Sure, it is rather long and most footage is there just because they had access to it. But there is a story. And it is fascinating to see how Jane Goodall goes away from the Orthodoxy and how she is attacked for that: names for the chimps, getting involved, and so on. And after enough time has passed and some comfy glory how quick she is to take the same Orthodoxy and declare that Adam is responsible for the beasts god put in his care.

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.
