Homecoming is not your standard concert film by any stretch.

At the glittering centre of it all is Beyoncé herself: master maker of her own modern myth; an uber-perfectionist capitalist surveying her multimedia empire.

TOP CRITIC
Beyoncé’s Coachella concert film Homecoming is peak self-mythologization, an astonishing accomplishment that centers the personal as political.

TOP CRITIC
Non-Beylievers should check out Homecoming, too: it’s unabashedly indulgent at nearly two-and-a-half hours, but conveys a more tactile, communal sense of her star magnetism than you might glean from her mirror-sheen recordings.

Call it contradictory or call it complexity, but it’s all part of what makes Beyoncé so fascinating.

TOP CRITIC
Are there killer performances, musical mash-ups, and dance routines? Sure. But what really makes this music doc stand-out besides the talent of its star is the intimate look fans are given into Beyoncé’s personal life…

The behind-the-scenes stuff is indeed fascinating, but no match for the revelatory experience of Beyonce’s performance itself, which lives up to everything you may have heard.

Herald Sun (Australia)
Too many people still treat African American culture with willful amnesia or purposeful neglect. This kind of affirmation and condensed schooling is just what we need to cut through the nonsense.

This show represented something different, as it was more in tune with her roots than what a mostly white audience at the music festival in California could begin to understand.

She of course looks amazing.

Her performance celebrated HBCUs, feminism, activism and the African-American community.
