i'm here for a live album....the audio was so crisp...i heard instrumentation in the arrangements that i never paid attention to.  while attending the concert in person, there'd be times where i felt like her vocals & the band were on the same audio level. but watching the film...the vocals are so forward in the mix...you hear every little nuance of everything she does vocally.  POTS & VG shined better on film for me.

 

there were some members of VisualHive that pretended like we didn't need this concert film b/c we all went. We definitely needed it...there is no Youtube recording that matches the cinematography of how the concert was put together on film. i'm soooo glad this show is immortalized forever...i also called the documentary portion "crap" but its probably the best BTS she's ever captured.

One of the things that stood out to me that she managed so impeccably this Film around is to capture the essence of the live concert. The fact they literally muted her when she sang "sing it yall" so that everybody would join her in the cinema. It was just sooo cool and good

Me walking into the Renaissance movie tonight with the 50% discounted “The Marvels” ticket I purchased:

 

I can’t believe I was so close to making it into the film.  if I wasn’t on ozempic, maybe more of me could have occupied that theater screen. u only see my sausage fingers holding a phone, I am distraught to say the least and maybe I’ll recover when we get a live album.
 

I just got home from my screening. It was truly incredible and almost as good as seeing it live. I mentioned in here a year or so ago that my dream was to see the show in Australia with my terminally ill mother, but getting to see it with her today, especially with the themes and messages of the film, was more than I could have ever asked for. Her dedication to her craft is unmatched. She is a powerhouse in every regard.

Some personal notes, I always loved Thiqué and it was one of my initial favourites, but it really didn't translate well live at all, so I'm not so bummed that the two shows I attended skipped it. On the flip side, AUIYM was never a favourite from the album but boy did it impress me live.

The entire Renaissance opening was a highlight. The way the seats vibrated and the sound radiated through your body. Diva was epic and blue was so right not to cut it. The riffs and harmonies at the end are perfection. AHAP and Pure/Honey were a bit messy live but in the film they were outstanding, especially Pure/Honey which is also not a favourite of mine but really impressed me in the film. Her best performance of Drunk in Love by far as well, thank god that went viral or I fear we may never have seen it in this quality.

Finally, I am filled with emotion after watching, I feel slightly sad, but in a good way. Mainly because I also get the sense she is winding down, at least on the touring front. I'm still optimistic that Act II will come soon.

Recency bias aside, this is BY FAR her best doco/concert film, and this is coming from someone who attend the iconic Beychella, which still takes the cake for me as her crowning performance. That being said, Homecoming ain't touching this masterpiece.

Alien Supe and Cuff It were much more entertaining and energetic than I remember from my concert. I love being able to see the show with such amazing shots. It’s so much easier to take in all of the little details. *sigh* please hurry up and go to Amazon/Netflix 😮‍💨

!!! amen

Move as well

 

The spot I was in for the concert didn't really let me appreciate the stuff in the middle of the stadium because I had to swivel my head constantly between looking at her back & seeing what was actually happening on the screens so I was snatched by that. 

 

Was so clever to keep cutting between the different fashion she used throughout to keep things visually popping constantly. It helps that almost every look she wore through the whole tour was 10/10, those seamstresses absolutely SNAPPED

This. I just went again tonight and the audible groans I heard. B*tches had just got in sync with the fan clacks too 😂😂😂

The collective sighs 💀, they all got their life during the outro tho

i'm definitely going to movie theater in the hood for my 2nd viewing...i want to be around ppl who are going to be hype. my theater was lame. 

 

after they showed Blue's journey & she came out BEASTING...i wanted to jump out my chair & scream so bad.

Phone died during the movie so I couldn’t get a pic of the sticky note but I remember it this time. It said on two separate notes:

 

I THINK I HAVE A BETTER IDEA

 

I AM NOT MAKING A FILM. IT WILL LIVE IN MY HEAD

wait I thought I read "I WILL LIVE IN MY HEAD" as in... if I'm making a film I'll be too worried about it during the shows.

 

I got out of my second screening a little while ago, the friend I went with wants to go again. so I guess I have to go a third time now. I'll check back in when I do 

 

this film and MY HOUSE are both incredible. I'm living

Didn’t know my love and respect for Beyoncé could reach even higher heights. The film really brought me back to so many emotions I felt when watching her perform for the first time a few months ago. So emotionally charged, especially the segment about Blue, Uncle Johnny & the Ballroom segment (as a girlie in Ballroom I was living for all of this). She is just EVERYTHING.

I want to see it for a second time

When the power went out in my theater, while we were waiting a fan started singing this part and the whole room followed at the top of our lungs like we did before when this part came on screen. 

 

Such a great moment!! 

 

 

Oh shes EATING DOWN

 

 

 

Really good Spotify debut. Many songs charting above it are Christmas songs. 

I’ve seen several names in relation to My House, but am I the only one hearing Boosie’s style of delivery during the first half of the song? Like, my mind immediately went to him.

Went to see the film last night and LOVED IT so much. She really is a force to be recon with and a master vocalist/performer. Good for her, proper talent and development as an artist seems hard to witness from pop girls these days.

 

It really uplifted the songs again for me, and Im so glad she put the Hive and the queer/trans community right front and center too, gave them all their flowers in clever and fun ways. Good for her!

 

It was also super interesting to see the breath of production-levels needed for such a show. I was a bit aghast at the fact that there are actually THREE stages being driven around at any given time during a tour of this size. For me, this is quite a bad point, and certainly highlighted the issues that touring at this level have when it comes to impact on climate change. Knowning this fact, I will most definitely not invest in these type of shows again, probably ever, unless this practice changes. It's too much and no amount of 'go big' justifies this, in my view. Touring at this scale really needs to be killed off or completely changed in the way it works, sadly...

 

Overall thouygh, I dont think I have ever had such a fun night out at the cinema! Everyone was LOVING IT and during Break My Soul and Heated loads of people were up dancing, and most were singing along throughout it. I loved it!!!

 

Maybe a bitttt too long, and certainly some of the BTS bits could have been cut (I also didnt particularly needed the Church Girl - Crazy in Love section, it was a bit boring) and I also definitely did not need the Before I Let Go bit, it was quite flat.

 

The Uncle Johnny bit really killed the flow for Heated though. I wish that but came before Virgo's Groove as it would make sense that whole section was basically an odd to queerness.

 

Overall though, 90/100!! Love her dispite her disguting capitalist ways

Yes

I waited until the movie to hear “My House”…after seeing descriptions on social media…I was really not excited for it & didn’t rush to play it. I have such a love/hate relationship with Rapyonce. But when the song started playing at the end….I started feeling that southern flow on it…it felt old school. Then she started doing intricate runs on it & I was sold.

 

this is cute actually! I’d do this if my cat could be trusted 

this insider twitter account that posts about music releases (and has been pretty reliable) has posted something cryptic about Beyoncé/Renaissance visuals and poster 2 images that I’ve not seen before?
