Our take
My Mom Jayne is a TV-MA documentary where Jayne Mansfield's daughter explores family archives and interviews siblings about the Hollywood icon. Expect mature Hollywood history themes. Older teens interested in classic celebrity biography
Uplifting themes
Honesty and reconciliation across generations
Story (may spoil tone)
Through deeply personal interviews with her siblings and an examination of the photographs, letters, and belongings left behind, Mariska assembles a new portrait of her mother Jayne Mansfield, an extraordinary and complex woman.
