It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

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.

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.

Beyoncé is the star, executive producer, narrator, co-writer and co-director of this film, which pretty much tells you what the real purpose of this "documentary" is. Only the true "beylievers" could enjoy this, for only Beyoncé's biggest fans could look beyond the amount of superficiality and narcissism in this film. It's essentially just the film equivalent of taking lots of flattering pictures of yourself.Beyonce talks into her laptop camera like a narcissist staring at them self in the mirror with complete delight and fascination while she desperately tries to make herself appear a deep and thoughtful artist, but fails miserably because she's actually just a manufactured pop star.Despite the fact that she dances around in tight clothes and sings subservient songs about men putting "a ring on it", Beyoncé also seems to think she's an authority on feminism, saying: "It's not about equal rights; it's about how we think." Ironically, I am still thinking that one over.There is also one moment where Beyoncé hilariously lacks perspective and complains that this current generation is too obsessed with image and superficiality, when this is a superficial documentary that she made in order to enhance her image.The only thing I learned from this film is how surprisingly unintelligent Beyonce is.

I was very impressed with this documentary and the life lessons she communicated. It was a beautiful documentary and scenes were beautiful as well. If you want to be encouraged and uplifted watch this movie. Here are some high points from the documentary: The visual background scenes. The singing, she is a great singer. Her family gathering. A woman in charge. I really appreciated how she had to take charge and how hard she works. The sadness parts were her talking about losing a child and losing her dad as her manager. The Songs I would recommend to download from iTunes are 1+1, I care, and End of Time. Her daughter Blue Ivy is so adorable and beautiful. You will be blessed by this movie. Enjoy.
