Review: Beyoncé Reveals Personal Journey in ‘Renaissance’ Concert Movie

Beyoncé’s latest concert film, “Renaissance,” showcases her involvement in every aspect of her Renaissance World Tour, highlighting her role in everything from lighting to set design. This dedication is evident in the film, which presents her exhaustive 50-day effort to deliver a monumental concert experience.

“Renaissance,” a film both directed and produced by Beyoncé, captures her electrifying stage presence and offers rare, personal glimpses of the usually private artist. The movie, spanning nearly three hours, was released by AMC Theaters, drawing comparisons to Taylor Swift’s recent concert film. However, Beyoncé’s film delves more into her personal life, providing deeper insights.

The film features Beyoncé discussing her excitement for fans to witness the creative process. It echoes her 2019 Netflix documentary “Homecoming” but goes further, exploring her life as a mother of three while managing the physical and mental demands of the tour.

Beyoncé speaks candidly about overcoming challenges, including the frustration of feeling unheard as a Black woman. Despite these obstacles, the tour grossed approximately $500 million. She also opens up about a knee surgery and subsequent rehabilitation, which occurred just a month before her first show.

Despite not being “a machine,” Beyoncé, the most awarded Grammy artist, consistently delivered high-caliber performances. The film also spotlights guest appearances by artists like Megan Thee Stallion and Kendrick Lamar. Yet, it was Beyoncé’s daughter, Blue Ivy, who truly captivated the audience, overcoming initial criticisms to grow in confidence and skill as a performer.

The film includes a poignant journey through Beyoncé’s past, including a visit to her childhood home and a reunion with Destiny’s Child members. It captures a moment of reconciliation and healing among the group.

Additionally, the film pays tribute to Beyoncé’s late uncle Johnny, who influenced her love for house music, and expresses her gratitude towards her devoted fans, the Beyhive.

Although not every song from the tour features in the film, “Renaissance” succeeds in offering a rare insight into Beyoncé’s life. It’s a revealing look into the personal and professional world of an iconic artist.

“Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé” is unrated and runs for 168 minutes. It has received a four-star rating.
