Stunning
First of all, I wanna clear something up : Black Is King is not a movie per say. Don't expect to see a movie with a real story because you will be disappointed. It's more an ensemble of music videos that illustrates the "Lion King : The Gift" album.
But this film is a masterpiece. Every clip is a artwork and makes Africa shine in the most breathtaking way. Beyoncé putted a lot of work on this and you can really feel it. I was stunned by the beauty of every plan, every outfit, and every song.
However, I don't understand why Beyoncé made a "film" out of this album. This format is not appropriate for this kind of work. She should've rather release a visual album like for "Beyoncé" or Lemonade". Every interlude is long, annoying and the link between every clip is not obvious. I felt like she tried to put every song in a kind of storytelling, but it didn't work. She should've release every clip on Youtube or something because a movie on Disney + is just pointless and, morefurther, doesn't give the visibility every song and every clip deserves.
