Twain likens the sense of grief she felt when they divorced in 2010 to losing her parents, but it’s left to an archive clip to spell out that he had an affair with her best friend. Twain doesn’t gloss over her tough start in life, but she’s much too private a person to parcel up trauma porn for the camera. Actually, the singer’s label boss Luke Lewis pretty much sums up the prevailing narrative when he says: “You’d have to take a sledgehammer to knock her down, and she’d get up.” But as a testament to the singer’s resilience and genuinely groundbreaking career, it’s an enjoyable and sometimes enlightening watch.

However, tragedy struck in 1987 when Shania's parents were killed in a car accident. Styles credited Shania for teaching him "how to sing" when he was a child in the car with his mum and also that "men are trash". The stress didn't help with Shania's health and understandably she describes that time in her life as being as "intense" as losing her parents. While she can now sing and perform again, she acknowledges that some of the vocal damage was permanent and that her voice will never be the same as it was before. She soon caught the attention of Mercury Nashville Records who signed her within a few months and it was at this time she legally took the leap to change her name from Eileen to Shania. Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl charts the 56-year-old's rise to fame, from her early life in Ontario, Canada, to her first record deal in Nashville and takes a look at some of her iconic cross-genre songs, ending with Twain discussing her upcoming sixth album.

It puts a satisfying spin on the vigor and flash of something like “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” a song that is still rightly upheld for its feminist shorthand swagger, but deserves to live in the real world, too. As Not Just a Girl accelerates to its finish, Twain’s son Eja is born, her third hit album Up! is released, she contracts Lyme Disease, suffers from dizziness and issues with her singing voice, and gets divorced in 2010, after Lange cheated on her with Twain’s best friend. What Movies Will It Remind You Of? The recent Sheryl Crow documentary has a similar rags-to-riches framing to Not Just a Girl, as well as an empowering message of dogged self-determination. Shania Twain: Not Just a Girl (Netflix) covers the “Any Man of Mine” and “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” singer and songwriter’s career from its earliest beginnings, singing in Ontario bars while still a grade schooler, to her records defining a dynamic hybrid of country music and pop flash and selling millions and millions of copies. But tragedy struck in 1987 when her parents were killed in a car accident, and Twain took a singing job at a Canadian resort in order to support her younger siblings. The Woman in Me, released in February 1995, was Twain’s first album with producer Mutt Lange, whose extensive background in rock music informed her sound.

Shania Twain: Not Just A Girl review - she's a queen (Ready Steady Cut)

Documentary film Shania Twain: Not Just A Girl is available to watch on the Netflix streaming service on July 26. It's been the crime of a century that.

It not only has all of her greatest hits but the new track, Not Just A Girl. (And in case you’re wondering, the album also gets 5 Stars). Shania Twain has one of the greatest musical careers in history. For the hardcore Shania Twain fans, the highlights of the documentary may come from hearing the demo recording of From This Moment On, seeing personal photos and clips from her life away from the public eye, or hearing snippets of new tracks from the upcoming album. And Shania Twain: Not Just A Girl does a fine job of doing so. The documentary details many factors of her life, such as the death of her parents, the uphill struggle she had to get noticed in the music industry, and the much published and devastating divorce from producer and co-writer Robert John “Mutt” Lange. Whilst there have been lows, there have been many more highs for Shania Twain. From global hits, three consecutive diamond albums, worldwide tours, and success like no one before her, there’s plenty to celebrate.
