JANET. has some incredible never-before-seen footage, but offers little else to anyone who's been paying attention.
“There’s always an underlying situation that you know nothing about,” says Rebbie Jackson, the oldest of the showbiz Jackson clan siblings, referring to her youngest sister, Janet. The “underlying situation” being referenced is Janet’s nearly 10-year-marriage to her collaborator René Elizondo Jr., which she managed to keep secret from the public, even at the height of her superstardom in the ‘90s, until they split in 1999.
frank as Janet has proven herself to be , she’s nonetheless maintained an old-school mystique via a fierce sense of privacy and explicit unwillingness to venture into territory that makes her uncomfortable. Janet’s mastered a way of entrancing fans that may read as alien in the context of our contemporary culture, when celebrities have the ability to share their every thought via social media : Give them enough so that they crave another bite.
You might think that a splashy documentary event—the product of five years of filming that kicked off during her 2017 tour, we learn via title card—would mark an opportunity to turn toe and bare more of her inner life than ever, but. is pretty perfunctory stuff. In the two episodes shared with critics in advance of the premiere, the biggest revelation comes in the form of a denial.
Janet states her rationale for commissioning a documentary on herself early on: “It’s just something that needs to be done.” On one hand: fair. So many other pop stars have participated in hagiographic documentaries that say little and do little more than waste some time. Janet is a particularly fascinating case study as someone whose fall from grace——was decisive and swift.
