Beyoncé is an interesting singer as while I am not a big fan of hers, I have enjoyed a couple of her songs in the past and some of her movie roles she had done. This documentary explores her Renaissance World Tour and the behind the scenes moments and there are some pretty good camerawork and discussions about the event. Including some gorgeous color presentations and uses of the music and soundtrack that helps to build the narrative and setting. But because I am not emotionally invested with her previous work "Homecoming" or "Black Is King" and her musical works, I felt both interested and bored watching this.
I mentioned there are good discussions explored about the creation of her album and the tour but there are discussions that dragged quite a bit or felt like they went nowhere. With the interviews and guests featured, there are some guests that were interesting but some guests that didn't really impacted the discussions and felt a bit awkward since their discussions and interviews felt a bit cringeworthy and slightly got on my nerves. With the movie being the runtime of 168 minutes, the pacing is pretty uneven and certain scenes felt unnecessary. I understand the heart and passion of what Beyoncé is trying to communicate but I just wasn't emotionally connected with it. I gave this one a watch since I like to give all kinds of movies a chance but just like Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, it's not for me.
Overall, Beyoncé is one talented singer and actress/filmmaker but I didn't emotionally connect with the documentary. I do recommend it for Beyoncé fans tho.
