    Hype over nothing. No, she is not special at all, nobody is. Just rich, that's all.

    Not impressed by "Beyonce's" film - as if she made it?
    This woman is as vile as they come, a total disgrace of a human being.
    Cochella + Anal Herpes + Beyonce = Homecoming

    This is really uninteresting compared to the Lady Gaga documentation. I'm not in her music and hoped to get some insights in the phenomenon Beyoncé but it's mainly about the concert and it's preparations and not getting significantly personal. Apart from that is her (contentwise very important) empowerment message torwards girls/women imho somehow contradicted by her only eating fruits andThis is really uninteresting compared to the Lady Gaga documentation.

    As can be seen by the reviews: it's pretty polarising - the fans like it, the non-fans not.    … Expand

    The lipsyncing JUMPED out. Not sure what makes this so great, just seems like another overwrought Beyonce propaganda film. Everything about this girl is overrated, call me when she writes a song, smh!

    All this hype for a pop singer that we see everywhere? To me, this documentary just proves more that Beyoncé is just a brand, a product and make a impact just when she releases something

    I tried. I really tried. I try not to be a snob when it comes to entertainment, and I try to appreciate things out of my wheelhouse, but I couldn't lose sight of my estimation of Beyonce and her ilk; entertainment industry muzak. There is nothing here for me. Music is a spectrum with two poles for me; artist to entertainer. Nothing wrong with either and if you can do both, genius. BeyonceI tried. I really tried.

There is nothing here for me. Music is a spectrum with two poles for me; artist to entertainer. Nothing wrong with either and if you can do both, genius. Beyonce is just another entertainer for me. I guess if I were mired in that genre and could recognize the brilliance she has within it, I'd change my tune, but that genre of music is devoid of anything compelling for me. Kudos to Beyonce for her hard work and success, I'd never say she hasn't earned her place, but this is not for me.… Expand

    I just don't get the obsession with overpaid performers especially those in music.

    Homecoming, in all its inspiring and self-mythologising glory, doesn’t just cement her legacy as a musical force who is proudly and defiantly black and female, but as a woman eager to ensure that others like her will follow in her footsteps, too.

    Homecoming is directed and performed with exacting precision, but it’s freewheeling too, its star favoring spliced and inventive arrangements of her hits, the totality of which make the film feel more like a pinnacle than a pilgrimage.

    The full thing on Netflix, framed as the fruit of artistic striving, may come close to achieving its epic ambitions, but it’s too soon to tell—the verdict won’t be in until a whole generation of children, homeschooling themselves on its choreography, have come of age.
