Review of Jane

Jane (II) (2017)
5/10
Home movie style "doc' lacks luster

Warning: Spoilers
Jane is a 'assembled' movie that rightly shows her place in understanding the chimps in Africa and leading to new conclusions about their species. However, there were far to many "Jane looking through binoculars" shots and Jane washing her hair. In a great faux science experiment, she brings in outside bananas to the chimps and they go well, bananas in coveting the goods and wrecking the support site. There are observational animal studies which means you do not interact with the animals and make them part of your 'western 'family' getting them to become dependent on you. Missing parts of the film > why did the chimp colonies fight each other to death. Was it the bananas? Jane simply gloss overs this terrible tragedy. Lot is really missing from a study of this type and inserting herself into the colony was not a good idea. Music by Glass was of course great. And there are lots of other worth while studies providing necessary insight into animal colonies.
