Always Jane

What a refreshing, positive, and encouraging docuseries about the journey of Jane Noury and her supportive and loving family. Instead of sensationalizing the subject matter and going the traditional "reality TV" route, Always Jane is beautifully shot, almost feeling like a movie at times. The intimate peek inside the Nourys' everyday life left me feeling so positive, even through life's more difficult moments. We've all heard the dragged through the mud stories, but we needed stories like this one to be told because they too also exist. We needed to see how an accepting family, even if they don't always have the answers at first, can change the entire experience. These days, we need to support each other - through the small things...all the way to big life-changing decisions. My hope is that Always Jane gives the courage to more teenagers going through difficult situations like Jane Noury to know they are not alone, and to find the strength to preserver. A+ for storytelling and beautiful imagery!

This docuseries shows a great perspective on a transition, focusing not only on one person, but specially on their family members and support. It is amazing to see the power of love, care and compassion in a person's life.

Instead of going through the path of controversy and conflict, leading us to think how awful the people in the world can be, the team behind the series show us that love, respect, and happiness still have a place on earth and how better that is for people going through difficult times.

It is not hard to find stories in the LGBTQIA+ community of people being phisically or verbally hurt just for them being who they are, sometimes even inside their homes. The Noury's are a good example of what a caring and respectful family can look like.

I love learning about nouns... you know- persons places and things. That's why I enjoyed this documentary about a young Trans woman, her supportive family and her transitioning process (a.k.a known as her confirmation surgery). Like the grandfather, I've always considered myself to be 'broad minded' about things and this documentary was a well done guide for me to better understand more about this subject. The haters will hate but the compassionate and empathetic will congratulate this young woman and her family. Bravo!

Must see documentary. You will laugh, cry and learn something from this heartwarming and uplifting series. What the worlds needs now. Thank you for sharing your story, Jane and family, can't wait to see what you do next!

Firstly the three ten star reviews here by supposedly different users reviewers are all use accounts, with a review of this being their sole activity on IMDN. Also using identical phrasing. Hmmmm....

Secondly this is simply the overlaying of every cringeworthy trope of "reality TV: ie obviously 100% scripted pretending to be spontaneous.

It is as if this series is setting up strawman that presupposes the parents of a kid who is trans would be deeply dysfunctional. And then knocks down the strawman. What is the point??

There isn't an interesting or compelling moment in this series, there is an overwhelming sense of fakeness in every scene. It isn't brave, it is junk

3/10.
