this could also be the case. the point is stop complaining as if she sits on her ass and does nothing, or as if she's not intelligent or capable of making strategic decisions. bey knows we want the visuals. there's nothing we can do to force her to tell us why they're not out. just enjoy the film and move on with your life. it's been 1.5 years anyway

I agree.

[Shone Ai]

Wait she didn’t explain why she cut the Big 3 from most of the shows 🤨

It’s really good that she never takes more than one year off, so we’re either getting a new album or visual by 2025 at the latest.

- we got a look into the production process, stage setup, production crew

- she explained why the crew were so visible on stage (which some in the base were confused about)

- we saw how and when they got Kevin Prodigy to do the commentary throughout the show

- we learned that she almost left Diva off the setlist

- we got her talking about her vocal hemorrhage

- we got a glimpse into the DC5 reunion

- we learned about Uncle Johnny + the last dress he made for her

- we saw her come up with the Cuff It acapella intro

- rehearsal footage for River Deep, 1+1, Thique, Break My Soul...

- we learned that she lived out of Cannes for the European leg of the tour (plus more stuff about her kids)

 

there was quite a bit in there. you're not paying $30 for the new information, it's categorically a concert film. it was evident that documentary would add up to 30 minutes or so. 

 

and I'm not saying she wasn't bullshitting at all -- "I love lights, I've always loved lights," "I think about our relation to time" and that one scene where she kept moving her head in a circle for what felt like 5 minutes were of course there to fluff it up. but the less-scripted parts of it were the first sit-down Bey interview we got to see since... Lion King era I think?

Again, nothing new in the format of behind the scenes we've seen from Beyonce. Half of that stuff we already knew, example having three 

stages in total was already reported on after the tour started. I said Kevin/Ballroom scene was my favorite part and wanted more focus on that and album creation.  DC5 reunion was a hug and not much expanded on that lol, we literally have been seeing them together for weeks at the tour. Uncle Johnny was sweet however her whole album dedication was to him.  Everything else was minor insights.  I would have loved to hear her thoughts on what BMS truly meant to her. We were told it had a much deeper meaning and all I gathered was the knee injury. It was surface level. Another thing she could have touched on was how was it recording an album during the height of the pandemic, etc. 

 

The format overall was similar to homecoming and the takeaway wasn't different. She's a hard worker and human.

LOL. Ok.

[Kassi]

Think about it this way, do y’all not think the FWT was also recorded and shopped tho?

 

Prior to that (and since then) we had:

• 2010 | ABC | I Am World Tour
• 2013 | HBO | Life is But a Dream
• 2014 | HBO | Mrs. Carter Show
• 2014 | HBO | On The Run
• 2016-18 | ??? | Formation World Tour
• 2019 | NFLX | Homecoming
• 2023 | AMC | Renaissance

If she can scrap one concert film over a decade, is it so impossible to believe she scrapped visuals for one era after a perfect 15 year track run from Dangerously In Love to Black Is King?

This. I’m not worried about which EXACT project we get from her. She’s more than proven herself and, as she said, has nothing left to prove to anyone. You would think especially fans would know this (not a knock on anybody, I’m just surprised). 
 

We complained all up and down about the FWT DVD and everything since then (The Gift, EIL, Renaissance and all their associated content) has far exceeded my expectations.

THEY ARE NOT FANS.

 

They live through a parasocial relationship with B and other artists. They don't see her as human so it's impossible to have a discussion with these types.

I think you all are idiots. Point to me where I trashed the film and said it wasn't good? Saying nothing new was said does not mean the film wasn't good. Maybe you all need a break from the ass kissing. Discussion and dissections typically happens after art has been absorbed. Deal with it. 

 

And where did I say I wanted to know anything personal about her? I wanted more insight on the ALBUM, her thoughts on certain songs, the recording process. I could care less about a Cannes trip.

[Kassi]

The only thing I would knock her for is the lack of transparency and communication.

 

Would it be nice to outright know that no visuals are coming? Sure. But then I think it gives her less flexibility if she does change her mind or something else comes thru.

 

But between “you are the visuals, baby” and this concert interlude… 

 

 

… I feel she’s very CLEAR about the state of the visuals. Even if she’s not been DIRECT about it. 

[Machete]

My biggest complaint of the film was with the performance clips. I don't know how else to describe it but it felt like a MOVIE, if that makes sense. Like scenes from a movie about a popstar who is on tour, not an actual recording of a real tour. I think a large part of this was her mic feed was way too clear. If I weren't a fan I would've thought it was just the studio recording. It was a weird choice to mute the audience so much, a choice I don't recall her doing in HOMECOMING. Like in Drunk In Love when she went "y'all sing" and then you could barely even hear the audience singing back  No wonder she cut out Love On Top, that would not have worked at all without the audience's full volume/

re: the visual scrapping discourse — it is legal and common, but that doesn't mean people involved don't care when it happens?

 

if you pour your blood sweat tears into a Beyoncé project only for it to get scrapped, would you go back to work with her when she needs you for Act II or whatever?

 

something like that won't fly. it's like having an unexplained gap in your resumé, yet you did all the work.

Personally I'd be more motivated to work with Beyoncé again if the first time what I did didn't get released.

[swissman]

I think if the film started at the conceptual phase and we still didn't get information about the concept and all that, then it would be missing that aspect. But since the first non-concert scene is basically the dancers coming on set for the first time, and Beyoncé explaining / referencing all the workers involved, it's fine as it is. In some regards Beyoncé doesn't need to and shouldn't be giving out her creative process. As a creative myself, I like to keep my process personal, and I think if you have done a good job, your motives and inspirations will be clear, which I think has been accomplished. The notions of human vs. robot that are explicitly stated in the interludes also carry out in the visuals themselves, the choreography, the set pieces, etc.. Overall, I'd rather derive context from the work than being explained it after the fact.

 

And personally I appreciate that the documentary aspects are lightly personal (so the staging is still the main event) and help tell the story of what's happening on stage, not the "making of" necessarily but how they got there, emotionally.

i noticed that too but it’s clear that was done to have very clear vocals and productional elements for the live album 

 

they also cut out some audience interaction (some sing it challs) and mixed the arrangements differently 

 

it works a little less for a concert movie but it’ll work amazingly in the context of the live album, that audio will be CRISP, something Homecoming was not (always hated how she didn’t pick the full version of the Sorry/Me Myself and I  mashup but used the one where she talks during all of the MM&I chorus )

But that was an artistic choice so that one feels inclined to do that while watching the movie in the cinema. I feel like it felt like reliving the concert which ive never had with any concert Film before

[TizTiz]

It's the being cursed and shunned for wanting what actually exist and has been prepped for release without a trace since the tour has concluded but being optimistic about a live album without any confirmation besides a personal desire- for me. Because what the actual F@(%? 🤣🤣🤣

I actually liked she cut so much from the audience and the mic is clear.

Yes, I would agree with this! It did feel like being at the concert again which left me wanting more performances!

More than anything, Renaissance is a testament that Beyoncé is a brand that stands for absolutely nothing beyond its own greatness.
