A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
... View MoreIt's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
... View MoreEach character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
... View MoreThere's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
... View MoreThe opening scenes of this movie are beautifully filmed and edited. We get a glimpse into Beyoncé's personal life, I thought it would be a little more in depth, but it's still a good watch. Had she gone into her upbringing, childhood and family more, it would have been more interesting but all in all it's a pretty good documentary.Queen Bey interacts a lot with the fans in this. She just radiates awesomeness and gets very personal in this movie; something she rarely ever does so I applaud her for really opening up. The concert scenes are great and it also delves into the superficial jungle of celebrity spaghetti and explores the mindset that has gotten her this far. Very touching and personal so this is certainly for all Beyoncé fans out there and I would recommend it.. Thanks Bey you truly made your mark on the new age classy woman.
... View MoreI did not know what to expect when I watched this.I did think that musicians lives were easy (ish), I suppose, but she shows it is hard to be current and modern, and the amount of pressure she is under.I don't understand the other reviews when they say she did not reveal anything about herself, I felt she revealed as much as was appropriate to her. I hate celebrities that tell us everything about their lives.I like that Beyoncé is private, and I am much more interested in her work life and work ethic, which I feel is inspiring to watch.I enjoyed it.
... View MoreI kept on waiting for a 'big moment' in the 'documentary' but I couldn't find it... watched all the way to the end and I was left confused. A big flop, D-.It's really an uncoordinated jungle of spaghetti which tries too hard in vain to show the 'human' side of Beyoncé.She could have tried to inject some life into it by soliciting interview opinions of her Destine Child friends; co-workers and those around her. It could have injected some life into it and pretended to be independent and unbiased, or rather 'real'. I agree with many reviewers that she has failed lamentably to win new fans with this film. At least she has tried to show her work ethics; that she works hard at what she does hence the 4 stars above.
... View MoreShowing true humility, softness, fierceness and beauty. Just enough of her life to not over expose her but enough to create lactation for the 1.8 million fans watching the debut & the millions that will continue to watch it for the first time.It is relatively geared for a woman to watch. All the "we run the world, girls" and ups & downs of pregnancy (that sincerely make a woman want to have a child) I think is suited for a woman to watch. A solid majority of the documentary is filmed with beyonce's computer. It almost inspires me to do some self recording...haha. Keep on being the best in the business, Beyonce & Jay.
