I kept seeing this come up in my NF suggestions. I thought, she had some cool songs, nature gave her a beautiful face, and that was about it, so I just kept skipping the documentary. Then, last night I was looking for something to catch my eye, (between my son and I, we have 7 streaming services) but nothing was appealing to me, even with all of the choices available. When this came up again, I decided, why not. Well, let me tell you, this gal is an amazing example of human endurance and explosive ambition. Her story could surely inspire many a young girl to say "yes I can". Forced to start performing at a very young age, then suffering a catastrophic tragedy that looked to put her music career on hold, actually led to an open door that covered her financial needs and kept her career on the upward trend, that she was bound for. I believe it was in the stars for her. I am really glad I watched this. Highly recommended.

Shania Twain's story in her own words was nice to see. We saw her humble beginnings, courage and resilience. I grew up listening to her wonderful music. It was catchy, melodious and sung beautifully. She truly is a music icon. I learnt some new things about the music icon and some of the struggles she overcame. She hasn't lost her simple and down to earth nature despite her enormous success. I was unaware she had Lyme disease which affected her unique voice and had such an impact on her life. It took courage for her to make a comeback with the help of her friends. She seems like a wonderful person and it was pleasant watching her tell her own story.

All I knew of Shania Twain was that when I was a hormonal teen she looked amazing and she teased me with that You Don't Impress Me Much song. I liked her songs, but I would never have considered myself a fan. This documentary starts from her humble beginnings, goes through her explosive years, approaches the great trauma that she experienced immediately after and comes out at the same time as a compilation album from 2022 containing a new track as well. Is she making a comeback? I don't know. It certainly feels too late, but then again, you never know. This was a very informative film, although not one that made me feel closer to the person. It was heartbreaking to hear about how Lyme disease derailed her entire life, but after watching the documentary I don't feel I understand Shania more, only that I know a lot more about her. Other than that, it was a good documentary. I hated the talking heads who were trying to slap their political agenda on Twain's career, even after she herself said she only wanted to express her personality, not enter in some political piss contest. Personally I admire her steadfastness and I do feel like she is a decent human being. She was a true feminist before it was fashionable, and did it leading by example, not by pushing talking points in unrelated conversations. Unfortunately, that's exactly how those few minutes of slap-on social agenda bits feel, completely out of place and annoying as hell. Bottom line: ignore the talking heads and focus on the story and you will get to admire Shania Twain more.

Not a bad show don't get me wrong.. but it's basically the exact same format as countless other biographies. Just insert shania and boom, you have a documentary. It's basically behind the music type format.

Once I saw Eve Barlow was in the video I stopped watching it. After review of the cast, it was also noted that Eve Barlow was not listed, she should be removed.

I'm not a die hard fan but have enjoyed her music from time to time. She seems so cool and down to earth and, wow, what an amazing journey she's had, incredible, much respect to her. I really enjoyed it from start to finish as she really has had an amazing career and it was quite fun taking a glimpse into that.

Wasn't a massive Shania Twain fan before to be honest but this movie made me really see her in a totally new light. I confess I am now a converted fan! She's amazing!! Definitely worth a watch.

First of all you have to like Shania Twain's music to really appreciate this documentary. If you don't like her and her music, this is definitely not something you want to watch. She is one of country's most talented songwriters, performers, producers and singers. She dominated the country charts in the 1990's. This movie was very well put together. A fan of Shania? Watch this movie.

I really liked this documentary. I am not a huge fan of Shania, I like most of her music and having time to kill I decided to give it a go. After watching Not Just A Girl, I have a lot more respect for her given all that life has thrown her way and how she managed to overcome it. You go Shania!!!

Joss Crowley's 'Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl' is a well-made and enjoyable music documentary that digs into the career of one of country music's towering figures. The film doesn't provide any new information for those already familiar with Twain's life and work, though some of the interviewees are insightful.
