Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé

It's a kinetic cut of Beyoncé's Coachella performance intercut with a glimpse of her creative process, her hard-work and intention, and her work-life balance.

We also get short interludes with the performers who played and danced alongside her in the show.

Do I wish we could've gotten more interviews with her creative team, maybe hear about what they put into the show? Sure.

Am I mad about what we did get with Homecoming? Absolutely not.

Other artists put out concert videos, but Beyonce truly put out a film. She took something that most of us experienced through static livestream and cellphone videos and social media reactions and she made it come alive again like we were right there with her.

It's a snapshot, a moment in time adorned with her hopes and influences. It's a gorgeous record of a masterful production.

Just because she is celebrating her heritage and black culture, does not mean she hates white people . . . This movie shows all the hard work that goes into creating an epic performance. Kudos to everyone involved in its production.

I keep seeing bad reviews for this documentary and I wondered why until I realized that most people who leave film reviews are middle-aged white men. Don't listen to them.

Homecoming is inspiring, entertaining, joyful and most of all, honest. Not only do we get the chance to see a high quality video of Beyoncé's Coachella performance, we get to see all the hard work her cast and crew put into the production. We learn that it took 8 months of meetings, vocal practices, dance rehearsals, and plain old perseverance for it to come to fruition. And it shows.

I cried a few times watching this documentary because Beyoncé's performance was so much more than just a concert, it was history. Beyoncé is the first African American woman to headline Coachella and she states that what was most important to her was bringing culture to the festival. Because of this, she hired a predominantly black cast and emphasized the importance of historically black universities. The film quotes DuBois who states that, "Education must not simply teach work, it must teach life."

I hope that people give themselves the chance to broaden their perspective and see this documentary for more than what it seems. It isn't simply a behind-the-scenes look at a Coachella performance, it's an ode to all the young black men and women out there persevering and following their dreams. That alone deserves more than just a 1 star rating.

What a testament to the power of positivity! There is a scene in the last 15 minutes with everyone moving in unison with Beyoncé leading. To orchestrate, choreograph and direct that scene alone would be daunting, but everyone kept it up throughout their 90 minute live performance, Perfectly flawless performances by all - and gotta give props to the visionary behind it all. Thank you for setting a great example for those interested in the performing arts.

Beyonce is back after dilvering a twin to platform at Coachella for the first tim ever as a black woman. She spends 6 months preparing with an incredible crew of hundreds of singers,dancers,n orchestras. Great inspiring performance. Beyonce has a message to unite her community n let them feel the pride of being who they are and for that she worked so hard, pushing her self n her team beyond what is conventional. She takes care of every detail,and the results an incredible performance!
