Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé: reviews

What the critics say average 9.0 from 4

• 10 Roger EbertPeter Sobczynski "To say that she pulled all of this off would be a grotesque understatement?practically from the moment she stepped off the stage, her show was already being referred to as one of the greatest concert performances of all time. In an age in which virtually every cultural event of note is hyped to the stars, this might seem like hyperbole, but ?Homecoming,? the eagerly awaited documentary chronicling both the show and its creation, not only confirms the greatness of her performance but helps give viewers additional appreciation of the entire spectacle."
