Jane by Charlotte

"Jane Birkin’s daughter doodles a hazy sketch of her famous mom (...) If you want to know Birkin, search her lyrics" 

"A tender and quite illuminating portrait of a mother-daughter relationship seen both within, and far away from, the public sphere of celebrity." 

"The documentary is defiantly insular and lacking in context (...) This makes for an occasionally trivial experience, but one senses Gainsbourg doesn’t care" 

This documentary about the singer, actress and model Jane Birkin directed by her daughter, the singer, actress and model Charlotte Gainsbourg, is moving, unsentimental and gently provocative. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"[It] feels primarily tailored to portray Gainsbourg as a caring daughter who has finally made an effort to understand her mother’s fears, desires, and life. And in the process, it leaves Birkin at arm’s length from us (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)" 

"While 'Jane par Charlotte' does little to provide an overview of Birkin’s life, it in many ways provides deeper insight than any biopic could have every possibly achieved" 

"We remain watchers, appreciative of but never truly understanding the magic of Jane Birkin."
