I’m probably the worst person to write this article because I’ll find it impossible to be critical of the musical superstar.
After Lemonade was released, I started measuring the success of things on a scale of one to Beyoncé.
Now she has a documentary and I’ve cleared any plans I had next weekend to watch it.
The trailer for Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé features a voiceover from the late, great American poet Maya Angelou.
Here’s Quartz:
Beyoncé is frequently hailed as the world’s greatest living entertainer, and she has bolstered that reputation with an ever-expanding portfolio of creative work. (The woman that the New York Times recently described as “the first lady of Everything” just made a grand entrance into the corporate sneaker wars.)
So it’s easy to see how Angelou’s words describe her, as a paragon of human potential.
The doccie follows Bey through the build-up to her 2018 Coachella set.
Beyoncé was the first black woman to headline the festival (a fact that she pointed out upon first taking the stage). Over a year in the making, it was her first performance following the birth of twins Rumi and Sir. It was seen as a triumphant homage to black college life, and to black excellence more broadly.
Check it out.
On a scale of one to Beyoncé, this looks Beyoncé.
Catch it on April 17.
