Jaglom’s cinéma vérité style blurred reality and art, earning him praise as a feminist visionary by some, while others dismissed him as self-indulgent, voyeuristic, or even "the worst director in the world."

Critics noted his films’ deeply personal and improvisational approach, often without scripts or rehearsals, producing raw performances that some found tedious yet others considered thought-provoking and daring.

His financial independence, stemming from family wealth rather than box office earnings, enabled him to make unrestrained films, a freedom that fueled both his critics’ disdain and his admirers’ appreciation.

Works like Always, Eating, Babyfever, and Venice/Venice were semi-autobiographical, chronicling his life, relationships, and social issues, often featuring thinly veiled versions of himself and his partners.

Despite accusations of verbosity and self-indulgence, his sincerity, humor, and risk-taking approach earned admiration from figures like Dennis Hopper, Candice Bergen, Louis Malle, and André Gregory.
