Beyoncé: Life Is But a Dream

I feel like I've just seen a different film than a lot of the other reviewers here. I found it to be really warm, open and positive. It's a beautiful series of little moments all strung together, or a joining of the dots as Beyonce likes to put it. She's got a beautiful conversational tone throughout that feels like catching up with an old friend, there's a definite generosity of spirit there. What I found really interesting was her courageous approach to her life, she lets herself be vulnerable, questioning, fierce, sensitive, hard-edged and celebratory. She embraces all of herself in a very honest way. I really just enjoyed it for what it was.

Beyonce the Great had her name and hands on every bit of this production.

Do not waste your time on this.

I only watched because a friend wanted to see what a train wreck it would be, and it was.

I love how she set up the false interview situation, how she begged sympathy and empathy, how the intrigue with her father was a big nothing, and on and on.

Vacuous, egotistical, brainless. That's Miss B.

Unfortunately, that is now the role model for so many youth.

A jumbled mess of unrelated scenes lacking in narrative and structure.

Clips of archive footage are obviously pre-selected by Beyonce herself in a vain attempt to seem down to earth.

It backfires due to the complete transparency of the attempted ruse. The footage is set-up to make Beyonce seem deep and spiritual but the obvious script results in a 60 minute non-sensical string of non sequiturs.

Nothing more than a vehicle of self praise, self pity and the dishonest rambling of a delusional woman.

Contains nothing of note.

Showing true humility, softness, fierceness and beauty. Just enough of her life to not over expose her but enough to create lactation for the 1.8 million fans watching the debut & the millions that will continue to watch it for the first time.

It is relatively geared for a woman to watch. All the "we run the world, girls" and ups & downs of pregnancy (that sincerely make a woman want to have a child) I think is suited for a woman to watch.

A solid majority of the documentary is filmed with beyonce's computer. It almost inspires me to do some self recording...haha.

Keep on being the best in the business, Beyonce & Jay.

The opening scenes of this movie are beautifully filmed and edited. We get a glimpse into Beyoncé's personal life, I thought it would be a little more in depth, but it's still a good watch. Had she gone into her upbringing, childhood and family more, it would have been more interesting but all in all it's a pretty good documentary.

Queen Bey interacts a lot with the fans in this. She just radiates awesomeness and gets very personal in this movie; something she rarely ever does so I applaud her for really opening up. The concert scenes are great and it also delves into the superficial jungle of celebrity spaghetti and explores the mindset that has gotten her this far. Very touching and personal so this is certainly for all Beyoncé fans out there and I would recommend it.. Thanks Bey you truly made your mark on the new age classy woman.
