Edited together with a fluidity and polish rare even in the best documentary films.

A moving but flawed piece of documentary that could stand to fill in a few blanks, Jane is bolstered by a powerful score, sharp editing and an abundance of fascinating archive footage.

Watching Jane was like stepping back in time to a moment at which Homo sapiens learned something new and vital about its own family - the great apes. It was extraordinary.

Nature has a way of aligning us all, and Jane Goodall knew it. This is one of the year's best films.
