A good movie

I’m not really a huge fan of Justin Timberlake but since it was the last movie directed by Jonathan Demme and since it was available on Netflix, I thought I might as well check it out. That’s one of the cool things with all these streaming services, they allow me to discover some popstars by watching some movies I would have otherwise never watched. To be honest, I was hardly impressed by Timberlake’s singing qualities but it was greatly compensated by the huge band supporting him. Seriously, they were really awesome and delivered such a heavy and gorgeous sound. I also enjoyed Timberlake’s dancing skills, even if he didn’t use those during maybe half of the concert. Still, even though Timberlake and his crew were super professional, eventually, the whole thing was so clean and polished that it became at some point slightly boring. I mean, they were all acting as if they were constantly having the time of their lives but there was seriously nothing spontaneous or unexpected happening through the whole concert. It’s an interesting that such a professional and technically flawless performance actually ends up being tedious and you almost wish that someone would show up drunk or high on stage just to shake things up. I also noticed that Justin Timberlake not once ever spoke to the audience to tell a joke or an anecdote or whatever (maybe he actually did but it was edited out off the movie like some other of his songs which were also not included) and it would have been nice if his interaction with his audience would have gone beyond than only asking them to say ‘HEY!!!’ every 5 minutes. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was probably not the best concert I have seen, I have to admit it was still a decent watch and it is worth a look, especially if you like Justin Timberlake’s work.
