    Beyonce is amazing. The amount of work she goes through with her background dancers is incredible.

    This is an amazing film. It shows insight into the hard work Beyoncé put into her Coachella show, and also a little into her personal life. Every single part of the film is captivating and perfectly put together.

    Beyoncé does it again! I don’t know what i love more, the choreography or the live vocals. She really sets the bar high for modern day performances. She also wasn’t scared to express her vulnerability after the twins. A must watch.

    This concert kept me on my feet the entire time. The choreography, musical arrangements, and vocals are all top tier. This concert has a ton of surprises, especially in terms of its music selections. Couldn't ask for anything more from this concert film.

    You're going to get a bunch of quirky people trying so hard to be subversive hating in the comments but at this point, her talent and work ethic is undeniable and to disrespect her on that merit is foolish. Watch this and revel in seeing someone at the top of their game use their platform for good.

    If this masterpiece isn't recognized at the Emmys or Oscars for the next awards season, it's misogynoir.

    It is a pride to have Beyoncé, with the immensity of artist she is, to represent us so brilliantly. Documentary worthy of Oscar, Grammy, Emmy, Golden Globe and many other relevant awards out there. Although no award represents what Beyoncé gave us heart and soul. Excited!

    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.
