Lopez’s rise to stardom ties together to documentary. And also how she needs “to be taken seriously” by the media, her peers, and the respective music and film industries. We see a lot of things that Lopez went through throughout her career. The Oscar-snub for Hustlers, her being called a diva, and also Billy Bush (literally) asking her about her bu*t. Halftime will walk us through all these things and more when it releases on Netflix.
“I said to her once, ‘Doesn’t this bother you?’” Lopez’s longtime love and current fiancé, Oscar winner Ben Affleck, explains in the trailer. “And she said, ‘I expected this.’” towards the end of the documentary trailer, we see Lopez reveal how much she has struggled. She says, “My whole life I have been battling to be heard, to be seen, to be taken seriously.”
