Always Jane

This is the story of a fascinating young woman about to have her confirmation surgery. Along the way came some surprises, which tested Jane's resolve. For some reason the producers decided to stretch this series into four episodes and diluted the impact. Some scenes are repetitive, interviews are drawn out at times, other scenes are not so interesting. My feeling is that there was enough material for two episodes, three max. Still, this is such an important story in our times that I recommend it. We all need to hear Jane's story, which represents so well what so many other teens and their families are going through in America.

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!

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.

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!

I applaud Jane and her family for sharing their story and opening themselves up to a world which needs to be educated on the transgender community. The docu-series does a phenomenal job the way it was filmed to take you on this difficult journey with the Noury family. It shows all aspects of acceptance, unconditional love and the heartache it takes to get to where the Noury family is today. This film will change lives and help those going thru different stages of their transition. I thank Laura and David, as a parent myself, for their candor and strength to open up to the world. Thank you to Jane, her sisters and friends for their honesty and love. All should be proud of this docuseries and I pray we get to see more of the Noury family!!
