LOS ANGELES (AP) — Throughout her career, Jennifer Lopez has been praised as an epochal, prolific and hard-working artist. One adjective not often associated with the pop icon-turned-actor and producer, however, is self-deprecating. But as she readies to drop her first studio album in a decade, Lopez is performing a kind of fictionalized mea culpa about her past romantic relationships in her “narrative-driven cinematic odyssey,” “This is Me…Now: A Love Story,” hitting Prime Video on Friday in tandem with the album’s release. Lopez tells The Associated Press she had to fight for the movie, but she hopes viewers take away their own lessons from it.
