I could only watch the first 1 hour. Jennifer Fox has made junior high school girls look smarter than her. Come on, 42 years old, living in New York and behaving like it's your first crush. In these films she is clueless, and comes off very immature and childish. However, there are a few of her friends, who I say bravo too, through illness and divorce they show great courage, however somehow the films doesn't portray bravery and courage, it documents how little women have grown. Jennifer narrates the film and it is totally about her failure at love, it is easy to understand why she is not successful. All this giggling and laughing... Come on, grow up. It is a disappointment to see a women who is obviously talented still obsessed about having a man. Her lover lives in Africa and is married... I think that is all you need to know. She spends the entire movie agonizing over this. She visits all her friends and most of them are just as clueless. I was astonished , in disbelief she actually produced this film and thought that it told a relevant story.

So, after the film's subject drones for hours about various women's issues, I'm supposed to take her seriously as a woman of substance and a feminist. Give me a break. What kind of feminist:1. Gets involved in bad relationship after bad relationship without recognizing her own self-destructive behavior and poor choice in partners? 2. Has an affair with another woman's husband and (apparently) feels no remorse for destroying a marriage? 3. I may not have heard this correctly, so my apologies if I misunderstood, but did I hear her say she'd had multiple abortions? I'm pro-choice, but abortion isn't birth control, lady. If you want women to achieve true sexual liberation, you best start behaving like a woman worthy of it. In my mind, Jennifer Fox is not a woman to admire and this film is nothing but a vehicle for her own neurosis and narcissism.As a husband and father of two daughters, I shudder at the idea of women looking at Ms. Fox as a role model.

How do films like this get selected by film festivals? I seriously question the programmers who allow such a blatant waste of screen time. I am quite certain there are hundreds of films more deserving. I found "Flying" to be self-indulgent drivel, undeserving of an audience. As she travels the world exposing herself as an "ugly American," the filmmaker ignores cultural differences, choosing instead to apply American values to foreign situations. I wish particularly disturbed by the way she exploits her own family. Often contrived, always boring, director Jennifer Fox should have spared us this painful cinematic experience by staying home and continuing therapy.

This film premiers July 4th-17th at the Film Forum in NYC. It is going to be an exciting and groundbreaking film that I'm sure will create quite a buzz. I've seen the film and was truly awestruck by its profundity and brave exploration of women all over the world. The filmmaker, Jennifer, bares her soul as she uses herself as a tool to address the issues that face women no matter their background or ethnicity. It is a film that all should see, male or female, to better understand the world around us and the strides that still need to be taken to ensure equality and peace. Besides, its political and societal significance, Flying: Confessions of a Free Women, is also a compelling and soap opera like film that, despite its length, flies by in a whirlwind of emotional drama and hilarity. Thank you to Jennifer Fox for giving so many different women a voice. This film is a must see!
