J. Lo pulls back the curtain on life in the public eye in documentary trailer

The upcoming Netflix documentary “Halftime” proves she’s only just getting started. A trailer for Netflix’s new documentary “Halftime,” which takes a look behind the scenes at Jennifer Lopez’s life as she prepares to perform in the 2020 Super Bowl halftime show, dropped on Wednesday, and it’s a view you don’t normally get to see of the woman known as J. Lo.

“‘Halftime’ offers an intimate peek behind the curtain revealing the grit and determination that makes Jennifer Lopez the icon she is,” Netflix describes the film. “The documentary focuses on Lopez as she embraces the second half of her career and continues to inspire with her perseverance, creative brilliance and cultural contributions, set against the backdrop of her groundbreaking Super Bowl performance.” In about 2 1/2 minutes, the trailer shows us a determined Lopez instructing her dancers as they prep for the big show, and we get a look at her muscular moves as well as the workout she undergoes to get those muscles.

At 52, it’s easy to imagine that Lopez really is only at the halfway point of her life and career. Quick video shots show J. Lo as a fashion icon, being frank about hoping to get an Oscar nomination for “Hustlers,” and dancing both on a stage and a pole with equal ease (and incredibly high-heeled shoes).
