Since I didn't get to attend the show I was looking forward to seeing this film. Here's my thoughts.

While we're at it can someone tell them to release "Boston Public" to the streaming platforms?

#Beyonce #Renaissance #Review - บันเทิง
She’s an 80s baby BAE-BEE. We grew up on Michael Jackson, Janet, Prince and Madonna. She learned from the GREATS.
Its funny because I watched Renaissance film December first, and December 2nd I watched thriller45. she’s truly a student of the genre MJs daughter. The will to be great and striving for perfection is crazy!

The whole Blue progression was an amazing thing to see. I doubt Beyonce knew it at the time but making Blue a part of the show, became a whole movement and inspiration to young black girls. I saw a few videos on social media of little black girls at the concert for Blue. Waiting specifically for her to hit the stage.
One more thing. I'll never understand grown adults bullying children. Then when stories come up about children harming themselves because of bullying, these same people in the comments talking about the parents of bullies. Sir/Ma'am, the call is coming from inside the house.
Yes! The Blue segment made me shed a small tear because I had my girl around the same time. So seeing them come into their own is so heartwarming. But as far as bullying goes it shows that children won't break. Criticism is a part of life and it builds character. That's why her mom is so freaking great and her baby will too
yess!! i've seen so many #BlueIvyLeague tiktoks of young black girls doing the My Power dance with Blue, I wished they included those videos in the film
@@a.k.9929I do too.
@@a.k.9929I love LOVE that for Blue Ivy 🦋💙and all little black girls!
@@sdoggmariahall of this!! You won’t break their souls! 💪🏾
I want a separate documentary about the crew and process JUST behind the scenes
Same! I honestly would have preferred just that because I live production and it’s so interesting
Same!! She’s so fascinating on she starts her next project and I would of loved how she came about the album renaissance.
I never was a fan not even a casual listener to Beyoncé. With this renaissance project she made a fan outta me. Can’t do my thing but respect her.
I became a fan by watching her other films years ago. Her work ethic is out of this world!
I am a complete Stan but I’m still constantly impressed by the respect she has for both the artistry and us as fans. She gives an experience not just bs for click bait so grateful there’s still a few great ones left.
I respect her work ethic but I'm still not a fan
I'm not a fan or a hater! However once I got my Nakamichi shockwafe SSE ARC 9.2.4 1000 watts Soundbar and heard her concert on Netflix. I really enjoyed that concert. Plus it sounded so great on my system
I am not a fan of Beyonce. I did not like her latest album. However, I liked the Lemonade album. Her Coachella performance was great.
Beys work ethic goes so hard bc she sets the bar higher for herSELF, not to compete with others. I love to see an empowered woman do her thing. It motivates me in all ways.
Beyonce is so talented and hardworking it was great to see her in her process and just see her be a person but also show that everything she has accomplished didn't happen without hard work.
Child it was a damn mess
@@damongipson-dg8pcyou mean your life?? Ok 😳
@@damongipson-dg8pcI left your mom a mess
She said it took 4 years to create that tour. That itself was worth the money that I spent on attending in person! Give Beyoncé her flowers while she’s here! I’m standing on doing just that. BIG BUSINESS!
After Homecoming I was sold! Then she came up with Renaissance!!! She is a Alien Superstar!!!
#Unique
💅🏽
@@Annoyed_Humanthat’s what she is!
I know we didn’t mention. But OMG little Rumi is such a little firecracker lol. That girl is a star, just a big ball of energy
I absolutely loved the concert and the film exceeded my expectations. It was so great to relive the experience of the show with the added context of what it took to bring it to us. I’m the kind of person that stays until the absolute end of every movie I watch in theaters and I saw something I had never seen before: she added the names of the tour bus drivers to the end credits. I think it shows her gratitude and understanding for the fact that she could not pull of the amazing tour she did without everyone’s contribution.
Oh that’s awesome! You would have loved to see Taylor Swift as well. She did songs from 1989!!! 🙌 But I love the Midnights album!
I'm a Beyonce fan and saw the movie. I loved it! I enjoy documentaries so this was great. I plan to see it again. The behind the scenes footage was inspiring. Her work ethic, professionalism, and drive is amazing.
There are grown folks that still can’t make speeches publicly, then they come for an 11 year old smh.
😂
She did that. She showed true showmanship. There's no doubt that Beyonce has set a new standard for performing artists in her genre. Brava 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
the fact that she cut so much of the concert itself was shocking because we wanted all the songs but i did enjoy the behind the scenes however truly shows her artistry
Just got back from seeing the movie and it was great! I went to her Detroit show back in July and it was one of the best concerts ever! The staging was unreal and she sounded great live. I went by myself and looking back, I wish I was in Club Renaissance. Nonetheless, the energy was great and It was so cool seeing everyone express themselves through their fashion. Sidenote, I wish she would release a coffee table book of all of her costumes! It was so cool looking on Social media and seeing what she wore next.
I'm still hoping she's releasing one for the album anniversary or tour anniversary next year maybe
A coffee table book would be genius
Great idea.🎉
I gave birth to my son on THE DAY of the RENAISSANCE Concert in Houston. I held on as long as I could. Talk about a great day 😍
LOL @ “I held on as long as I could”😂 Congrats on your new addition!👏🏾
@@diijaithesinger thank you honey 😘😘
My Mom said she doesnt like the "new" Bey bc she "curses too much" but shes from H-Town influenced by rap and hip hop. Shes also done every genre of music. But how can you not respect the hard work, dedication, and work ethic over all? I dont get it. I respect Bey to the highest degree for her raw talent and work ethic. If she can eat healthy and work out 3-5x a week so can we! We can get our bodies right. She serves as pure motivation to me.
“the light fixture fell on her head and she had a concussion for 3 of the shows” is crazyyyy 😅
I really enjoyed the film. I didn't see her in concert but the crowd in the movie theater acted like they were there! It was such a fun experience. Although I don't consider myself a 'stan', I've always appreciated her showmanship and the dedication to her craft and artistry.
I love Bey, and I love how she connect with fans and those who aren’t. She’s more than a superstar, she’s the hardest working woman of her generation.
This movie was everything. The audience/fans we danced, laughed, and cried. Beyonce is truly a legend and definitely deserves all of her flowers and accolades❤
The tour was definitely an experience and seeing fans bond over it was beautiful. I'll wait for the film to hit streaming tho.
Hopefully for the Audio video snobs like me hopefully it will be coming to UHD Blueray and Blueray so we can get the best quality to hear it on our system that we so invested in!!!!
I love that you love to see people have a good time. So do I. The laughing, smiling, joy, and community gives me such hope
It always makes the experience so much better!
I am a deep fan if I had to say so myself; she did her big one. Her intentionality is masterful, and it is unmatched! She is an icon, and I believe we can all see it in this film. ❤
And this element of camaraderie continues with anything Renaissance related , whether parties in clubs or the film showings at the theaters. She really gave us all a platform to escape and be free
She has come so far!!! And that ain’t easy! So kudos to her🎉🎉🎉
Beyonce took us behind the curtain in this film, much respect for that.
There should be a Renaissance exhibition at all the global major city museums ❤
Beyonce work ethic is just so inspiring. You cannot take away how hard she works man.
I became part of the Beyhive after watching her BTS documentary for her Revel performance. I loooove to see her work ethic, the logistics of a performance and her as a regular human like us. Even if youre not a fan, you can definitely get something out of the movie. Im incredibly inspired after watching
Easily my favorite Beyonce album and tour. I was at DC night 2 and seeing it in theaters I noticed so many things that I didn’t see initially. She is unparalleled in her field.
I’m glad you talked about how people were such haters of Beyoncé in the early 2000s! They were mad she was going solo and made this thing. They even had her under a microscope when she was pregnant with Blue. Like no wonder she never tells yall nothing anymore cause people were out to get here. I’m so happy she rose above it all time after time, but she’s a person I can only imagine having to keep your spirit and creativity up when people come for your character your whole life .
The movie has s fire, anybody who talk’s negative about her just hate themselves because she’s doing a lot, this woman is a hard, dedicated worker and deserves all her flowers ❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
💯💯💯💯💯
Been a huge fan since like 7 or 8 years old when I was exposed to DC4/DC3. I have went to 3 Beyoncé concerts (FWT), (OTRII), (RWT) and she really outdoes herself EVERY TIME and the energy is insane/unmatched! 😍
Seen the film this past weekend and enjoyed it so much! Really loved Blue's segment! It was so sweet and endearing! The entire crew for this tour was amazing! I honestly wish it was longer! She is this generation's blueprint!💓
Beyonce is so intentional and meticulous with her art. So much so it’s painful. With that being said I’m a masochist ☺️
For me Renaissance was B’Day on Steroids. I enjoyed this project waaayyyy more than Lemonade. I’m glad I did what I did to get to the Kansas show, AND the film was amazing. I feel like this is her Big One.
This movie was soooo good. Ppl that still talk bad about her is just hating at this point lol . Even saying she can’t sing or sing live is just hating
The movie was everything, she is the undisputed Queen
I went to the Charlotte show and I agree with the five components of the show and i definitely agree she is the best entertainer of the 21st century hands down 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I just saw the film and was mindblown by everything! The transitions were another level!
My only issue is that I wanted more time with Destiny's Child. Especially since LeToya and LaTavia were there. I thought we would get more from them.
‼️
They weren’t part of the Renaissance so I wasn’t surprised
This film was just amazing 🪩🪩🩶
Been a fan from Day One and I love to see her evolve, grow, and master her craft. I saw the movie today and it was fire 🔥. 🎥🎬🍿❤️👑🐝. That is how a professional entertainer moves.
Beyonce is definitely our generations Michael Jackson, a true performer and I agree with your comments with her being guarded due to what happened with DC back in the day. Even Tina coming out to defend her over the whitewashing comments. She has played it right and kept her private life private which is people are so interested in behind the scenes. Some artists post everything on social media for likes so if they tried something like this no I would care! She’s an inspiration, I also liked seeing that all the ladies for DC were in attendance for the premiere. Was nice to see them all supporting - still crossing my fingers for a DC5 reunion 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾
Overrated
Thank you! She is not Micheal Jackson! She will never be! She's Beyonce! Appreciate her for the artist that she is! Stop puttiing her on a pedestal!
No she's not.
@@girlbrittneygirlI agree... lol
@@girlbrittneygirlStop putting Michael Jackson on a pedestal too
I loved the movie just as much as being at the concert. She definitely showed a lot of the New Orleans tour stop.
I saw it last night so when I saw a bunch of "us" in the theatre I knew it was gonna be a good time. The girls and gays had a blast and im glad i was able to experience it ✨
What I liked is the tour evolved over time from 1st to last show...added choreography, Blue dancing, wardrobe changes. I saw her in July & she didnt sing "All Up in Your Mind" or "Thique" so that was great. Taylor Swift has worn the same outfits over and over and over w same setlist. Theres just no comparison btw the shows.
Ive been to both OTR shows, Formation (x2), And Mrs Carter World Tour. Front row Club Carter section. great shows as usual but Renaissance tour hit different for me.
I got last min tickets in the no view section and went by myself for the first time. I went to Night 1 in ATL (we won the mute challenge)Best night of my life. It felt like i was at a ball on a huge space ship. Everybody was vibing and having fun. You just had to be there. I think the Renaissance tour was her most important tour to date.
Renaissance Tour was in a league of its own. Masterpiece ❤
@@LivingLife-y7c it definitely was. I didn't think she could top Formation World Tour but Bey once again outdid herself.
Just left the theater 🎉 I was good to see behind the scenes, I also went to the concert here in #TheBay didn't stay for the whole thing because.... Traffic. and im not dealing with that leaving, so it was good to see what it was that i missed. Some stuff i seen from the line while buying my merch which i wore today 😊🎉🎉 you're right! She let us know that she is still a *Black Mama, while talking to Blue I did appreciate that she left that in there.
It's crazy to me how much hate from the black community that she gets constantly trying to discredit her when the proof is in the pudding everything from her work ethic to her performances to her body of work you can tell she puts passion and her all in everything she does,I saw some one say the other day on shaderoom saying she is only famous because of Jay-Z and devil worshipping lol like even if you don't care for this woman to say she's not talented and overated when most artists can't even perform live is so crazy she doesn't do what everybody else does she's in a category of her own Micheal Jackson and Prince had the same type of work ethics too which made them iconic and unduplicat she deserves her flowers for sure people should take note instead of trying so hard to discredit her...
And people have insulted them for being devil worshippers too. Maybe, just maybe, we have to sit here and be honest with ourselves and state the obvious here: these singers who became so popular, they were victims of INTENSE MK-Ultra/Satanic Ritual Abuse to become the singers that they are. The author of the book "Thanks for the Memories," stated she remember seeing young Michael and his other brothers back in the 70's having to service men such as Ed Sullivan just to even get any type of mainstream attention.
Do you really think Beyonce went from saying "I will never sacrifice my Christianity (2001, "Survivor" lyrics) to her outright blasphemous support of Orishas/Oshun African witchcraft by accident?
Lets be realistic here -- she is of her father, the Devil, and she married someone who even called himself "Jay-HOVA," insulting JEHOVAH God, Jesus Christ. None of her "hardwork" is from her doing it; she even gave credit back in 2006 for a demonic entity named Sasha Fierce just like Nicki Minaj gave credit to Roman (a demonic entity named after a literal rapist in Roman Polanski).
Isn't the black community that also supports her? There's more whites that don't like her than blacks.
She demonic everybody don't celebrate and clap for evil 😈
I was at the Houston show and it was phenomenal!!
When she was in Mom mode with Blue was the best part of the film.
Loved the concert and this movie made me love it even more! Idk how she does it 🤯
When Destiny’s Child first came out, I had a crush on. But she lost me as a fan over the time, big time. But I will NEVER take away from her the fact that she is an incredibly hard worker, beautiful singer, and her fashion game is top-tier (especially from the clips of all the costumes she’s worn on this tour).
BYE
@samyljones3871 thats so weird of you. He's just stating his opinion without being rude.
@@RachelLondon Thank you!
Why though if I may ask
@@samyljones3871well said❤
I have to say, I was one of those people disappointed with the set list. I liked the Renaissance album but it is definitely not my favorite by hers. As my first time seeing her live I was looking forward to a lot of the old hits, the destiny’s child medley, ect. But I get it, someone I know said this was their 3rd time seeing her live so they were happy with the show because it was completely brand new! So I definitely see the vision but I’m sad cuz I feel like I’ll never get to see her perform the older hits. Cuz she’s just gonna keep making more and Deja Vu n them will become less and less of a priority 🥺
Aww I get where you’re coming from
The Taylor Swift Eras Movie was missing the behind the scenes looks, which is what we want. 3 hrs of Taylor singing songs I never heard wasnt for me. What went INTO it other than a $ grab???
An absolute Masterpiece ❤
I don't think people realize that Beyonce, alongside Janet, Rihanna ,Nicki and The Weeknd are the last really big Black superstars we have left. Yeah other Black artist are doing well, but they aren't at the level as the artists I just mentioned
Lmao Janet is the only one worth mentioning alongside Bey, only 1 comparable
@@deevasquez1171gen z's for ya 😂
Rihanna and Nicki will never ever be lauded for their world tours sorry. Unlike Beyonce, Janet who actually put on proper shows. Rihanna's a style icon celebrated for that and her business acumen. Nicki's pen game is legendary
Well said. Top tier class artists
She is overatted period! Ever since after the 4th album, everything has been handed to her! Putting on big stage tours and designers gowns doesn't mean shit! If you are not being yourself! This first thing you heard was about her million dollar designer outfits not her actual show!
i like beyonce so far she is a great artist.
Been waiting for this!! Thank you🤩
I really enjoyed when they quickly jumped to show Diva stayed in 😂
This was such a great review. I appreciate how you broke don’t the 5 components-very insightful! And you’re so right about opening with a ballad. She NEVER does that. Been Beyhive since 02 and that ain’t even click for me.
Thank you for the review Calvin I won't be seeing the film nor I did not go to the show due to the crowds and I could not afford to go but I am glad that this was a movement for so many people and this brought a lot of people together to appreciate Beyonce's music in 2023
Your commentary is very thorough. Thank you. I did see the show in real life, and I appreciated that you highlighted some things that I forgot.
This film was so Beautiful and Amazing 🎉🎉🎉🎉
o8:20mins. - You really just took me back with this because I completely forgot about those cameras and how you couldn't see the picture until it was developed back in the day. That was the majority of my childhood being born in '94.
Beyoncé icon living 😎😩😩😩
Overrated
I loved it! This woman is a queen, a legend, a siren, a muse. She is larger than life! A super woman. I loved everything about seeing her process. The magnificence, the excellence, the top shelf production. I also enjoyed seeing all the family and friends aspect, her relation to her children and being vulnerable about her injuries. My only reason for not giving it five stars is that it was a bit too long. Had she stopped it at two hours instead of two hours and 45 minutes it would’ve been perfection.
Always love a Calvin analysis. Smart analysis.
Brilliant Commentary.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Loved your review of the movie I’m going to see it tomorrow I went to the Houston show and you’re right I was a freeing experience
I would like to see this documentary one day, I had been listening to Beyonce since her debut album with Destiny's Child.
Yasssss, the concert was amazing❤
I went to the NOLA show and saw the movie and was taken away both times. Just pure talent and grit! I only wish she highlighted the mute challenge competition more😂 and showed which cities the footage was from
I have to see this, I loved the homecoming doc. Sounds like this is good too
I couldnt agree more w ur commentary...saw it Sunday night and it was amazing just as in concert in Philly in July. Her work ethic & discipline is EVERYTHING.
The song where Beyonce performs with the harness on the I Am...World Tour was Baby Boy.
We go tomorrow but I can't click off lol
Great review and analysis! I’m with you: I hate stadium shows. I did attend Renaissance and had a blast, but my fav show of hers was back in 2013 when she performed at the Toyota Center in Houston: The Mrs. Carter tour. The acoustics are so much better in arenas and smaller venues.
WELCOME TO THE RENAISSANCE!!!!!!! I love this era 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Can't wait for your video about Julianna Margulies.
I just love your videos and how much you know about music ❤️
Thank you 💙💙
I didn’t plan on watching this documentary but this commentary made me reconsider.
Calvin, I always look forward to your commentary❣️
I would categorize myself as a casual listener, albeit this Renaissance Album made its way to my faves…It was so much going on with Tix sales, I ultimately decided not to go! 🤷🏾♀️Checking out the Docu next weekend, I love seeing BTS & “how-to” of things
This was a great video. Love your perspective on all of it.
I loved the fan cuts, too. It reminded me of how much fun I had at the concert ❤.
I really hope they have a live Playlist of the show!! The musicality is Ahmazingggg💯💯💯💯💯💯🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I trulyyyy enjoyed the concert and this film it's Incredible 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💗💗💗💗💗
Search Renaissance Studio version, it’s already out 🎉
@@TheBennettr Ahhhhhh Omg Thank youuuuuuuuuu🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Excellent review, you’re always spot on ❤
I always liked her music and videos . I’m not a concert person , Beyoncé took my concert virginity this summer . The Renaissance album Is a masterpiece . Bey gives goddess energy, her worth ethic is unmatched . During the movie I cried during cozy and uncle Johnny scenes .
Haven’t seen it, but let’s gooooo
OMG Hi Michael!!! I loved your take on this Film and I agree with literally every single word you said!! I remember the Beyoncé hate train back then because I was on it! I was a young teenager so I took the DC break up HARD. But you simply can't ignore talent, work ethic and beauty. Coachella was my Beehive induction moment tho (maybe because it took me back to the old HU days lol) After watching Homecoming 16 times and not getting tired of it I knew I had to see her in person and I did!! I was on the floor at The Renaissance World Tour DC Night 2 where the show got delayed because of the rain. She came out there and put on one hell of a show and Blue even got to come out. I'm still beaming about that amazing show. The Renaissance Film helped me relive it and I'm so thankful! Let's go to the next show together!!!
You should have done the standing only section. I got tickets the day of for my little bro for $200 in that section. But it was during Sunday night with the rain and it was miserable. I would never do that again for any artist.
My Dad was like it’s going to thunderstorm and I was like “oh”. I hope not since the tickets were free and would have been a great time. But in case, I have an umbrella. They were telling people they could not enter with their umbrellas. I still took my giant umbrella in. Who do I look like catching pneumonia for an artist.
I Loved the movie! Your commentary is always so refreshing. I definitely will be buying the film once its available for purchase.
Great review. I saw it tonight. I was OVER THE MOON watching it. However, I agree that it is a bit longer than I realized. The singing was just unbelievable. One comment that Beyonce made about Blue seeing the negative reviews was interesting. I don't want to give it away if people are reading the comments. But, I was curious to know what you thought about her reaction to Blue seeing the comments.
Great commentary!
It was absolutely amazing!!!! A masterpiece!
This was such a brilliant review.
Great insight! I 100% Agree
Very good commentary-
I actually concur with everything you said.
Your commentary was on point.
