Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé's reviews
Media reviews
Roger Ebert
"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."
"Part concert film, part myth-in-the-making, this is a glorious pop spectacle that is both enormously entertaining ? even if you?re not a particular fan of Beyoncé?s, as I?m not ? and hugely important. It may not be a stretch to call the moment it records as a landmark one for African-American culture. For American culture, full stop".
"('Homecoming') is a proud celebration of an unapologetic, historic and masterful performance. As Beyoncé?s own mother Tina Knowles Lawson said, that stage will perhaps never be the same again."
"The truth is that it was an impressive and otherworldly experience to see the synchronicity within the team, which was largely of African descent, with an exceptional and versatile orchestra that delivered one of the the artist's and music's most memorable performances, which is sure to be remembered as a historical event by future generations."
