A charming, formulaic portrait of a wonderful woman and the chimps in her life.
Primatologist Jane Goodall is the subject of a fascinating documentary from director Brett Morgen.
It is still a fascinating affair, both as a natural history film and as a closely focused study of a woman who lived her own real-life version of The Jungle Book.
Jane Goodall’s research into chimp behaviour was a great leap forward in scientific research and this documentary does her work full justice.
It was the beginning of an extraordinary career that is celebrated in the elegant documentary Jane.
