Jennifer Lopez’s new film about herself is a strange, sexy mess. But there’s method in the madness
J-Lo’s raunchy full-length movie – called This Is Me … Now: A Love Story – features lots of rugged sex and even more dazzling dance routines. What can it all mean?
This month sees the release of This Is Me … Now: A Love Story, a full-length movie in which Jennifer Affleck (nee Lopez) transforms herself into the legendary American singer, actress and pop culture icon known as … J-Lo. The difference here is that rather than repurpose concert footage to make more cash from punters who couldn’t get tickets to the live show, J-Lo has pushed the boat out by possibly inventing the “therapy-musical biopic” genre, billing it as “the most personal thing I’ve ever done”. Unlike Swift, Beyoncé et al, she has long presided over both the film and music industries, with this year alone also seeing her star in the science-fiction thriller Atlas and the biographical sports drama Unstoppable.
