Why watch the movie My Mom Jayne?
"My Mom Jayne is a documentary marking the directorial debut of actress Mariska Hargitay, best known as the star and producer of the TV series Law & Order: SVU. Hargitay made the documentary as a way to understand her mother, the iconic actress Jayne Mansfield, of whom she has no memories (she passed away when Hargitay was a child) and from whose career she distanced herself. It is not only an act of cinematic research but also of catharsis for trauma, as well as a reappropriation of a personal and family story. The documentary challenges the image of Jayne Mansfield — a sex icon — and presents a more complete vision that restores her power and that of her children."
