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

    Probably the best show from this century, helping to stabilize Beyoncé as the best performance now a days

    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.

    Beyoncé once again out does herself. A true master of the performing arts. What an incredible and all inspiring journey on the road to Coachella. One of the best concert films I've seen in ages.

    Sem palavras para descrever a força e a qualidade que Beyoncé passa em todos os seus trabalhos. Com "Homecoming" não foi diferente.

    I'm quite firm in the fact of experiencing something before criticizing it and in this case it was like that, but it only came to vindicate my opinion that Beyoncé is just a good performer, not a real artist or a real musician for that matter.

    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.

    Words like "iconic" and "legendary" seem so watered-down now that kids are calling any one hit wonder with no talent or work ethic a queen.

    The only word that truly does Beyoncé any justice is indeed - BEYONCÉ. Her own name is synonymous with greatness. It connotes hard work, dedication, professionalism, creativity, talent, beauty and so much more. Beychella was an artistic triumph.    Words like "iconic" and "legendary" seem so watered-down now that kids are calling any one hit wonder with no talent or work ethic a queen.

    The only word that truly does Beyoncé any justice is indeed - BEYONCÉ. Her own name is synonymous with greatness. It connotes hard work, dedication, professionalism, creativity, talent, beauty and so much more.

    Beychella was an artistic triumph. Quite frankly the greatest live show ever performed, especially for a festival show. Bey and her team achieved a feat no other artist would even dream of, let alone put in the work to turn that dream into reality. A year of development, eight months of rehearsals, over 200 performers plus another 150 crew members, endless sacrifices, hundreds of hours of work - it's awe inspiring.

    Homecoming provides a behind the scenes look alongside multicam footage of both weekends of the performance. Several costume changes, camera angles, an incredible set list, unbeatable choreography, and the greatest vocals in the game - available to stream in 4K in the comfort of your own home. We're so lucky we get a live album too!!! It’s stunning. Listen to it through a good set of headphones or a surround sound speaker system if you’re lucky enough to own one.

    It's the most uplifting, most inspiring body of work I have ever seen/heard. Eight months of rehearsals, all the EFFORT she put in (like she does with everything), I'm in awe. So many valuable lessons to take away from this project I can't even put it into words. She's the most talented, most hard working, most dedicated artist the world has ever seen, there is no debate at this point. There isn't an artist who has has the work ethic, creativity, talent, or drive. She's so motivated to continue to push herself physically and creatively and challenge herself and her team to create pure ART.

    Protect Beyoncé (and her kids) at all costs. She's the only TRUE ARTIST we have.

    An incredible vocal technician, producer, dancer, activist, designer, creative director, writer, leader, mother, model - the list goes on and on. No one compares to her and no one ever will.

    Thank you for everything, Beyoncé. The love that you radiate really keeps so many of us going. You are our light. It's unexplainable. Thank you for saving so many of our lives and providing us with purpose for so long, I pray it’s not an overwhelming burden to you. You’re a human. No one should have to carry the weight of an entire industry and so many fans but I thank you from the bottom of my heart. We truly love you.

    Homecoming is Definitely something you'll want to watch and listen to over and over and over again.

    Also check out HOMECOMING: THE LIVE ALBUM - on all streaming platforms now. LEMONADE also hits all streaming platforms on April 23rd. And then we have the lion king movie and soundtrack in summer, along with Adidas x IVY PARK.

    Thank you for feeding us, Bey!!! the Hive deserves. We love you, forever. ❤️    … Expand

    There's something magical about this film. Moments tears creep their way out of you. The way Beyonce displays her love for the art of performing coupled with her tact and professionalism is enough to make you want to get up off the couch accomplish everything you thought you never could do. If her country butt can do if, so can we!

    Como sempre a Beyoncé sendo a maior artista da geração. Esmurrou a cacura Spears que só sabe fazer plásticas no açougue, a Rihanna que só bate na xereca o show inteiro e solta miados desafinados, e qualquer fedorenta que alcançar o Hot 100 não sendo digna de fazer um show como tal. Beyoncé segue sendo artista do milênio e não choca ninguém com os fatos.

    Beyoncé's Homecoming inspires even the most casual listener to dream larger than life while also becoming relatable and personable on her own terms. She provides nuance in many ways people may have not expected and sets bars just to break them herself, leaving all contemporary artists in the dust of her artistic genius.

    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.
