Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé Reviews

To be honest, I’m not really a huge fan of Beyoncé but since I kept hearing some good things about this movie and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, it turned to be a decent watch, even if a running time of almost 150 mins was a little bit too much for me. Still, I have to admit that the dancers were all pretty awesome and I also loved the full marching band. However, like I said before, I have never paid too much attention to Beyoncé’s career but, except for a few catchy tunes, to be honest, I didn’t care much for her songs. A small detail that bothered me was also the fact that they mixed both her Coachella shows which was at first rather confusing. I mean, seriously, within one single song, they might be switching 20 times between her yellow and pink outfits which was sometimes rather jarring. Furthermore, even if I did respect the ambition displayed and the hard work done from all the people involved, in my opinion, at the end of the day, she was still singing some pop tunes in some (very) sexy outfits. Of course, you might argue that her recent work is more socially and politically conscious but the focus on the way she looked rather clashed with this new approach. In the same way, during the rehearsal footage, they displayed how she basically starved herself after giving birth to her twins just to make sure she could show up at this concert as if it was such a great achievement but I had some doubts. Indeed, it might have been more powerful to show to the world that to be a mother and have the actual body of a mother instead of looking like a top model could be something she could be pride of and, in the process, giving a better example for all the girls and women looking up to her. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was probably not the best concert I have ever seen, it was still really interesting, the work done by Beyoncé and the 100s of people involved was quite impressive and it is definitely worth a look.
