Where the documentary succeeds most plangently is in its fan testimonials of the album’s impact and Blige’s emotional recollections of the songs’ roots. Read full review

Despite 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. Read full review

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
