Art Spotting: Beyoncé Life Is But A Dream

Written by Casey

Review of Beyoncé Life Is But A Dream documentary.

Beyoncé documentary was, in a word, beautiful. I know I’m going to get haters for saying this, but before watching Beyoncés documentary I wasn’t her biggest fan. I didn’t NOT like her, I just didn’t know much about her or follow her fame and music career. Her documentary completely altered the way I view her as a person and a singer.

My favorite intimate moments shared on camera were that of her and her nephew, Julez playing piano while Beyoncé sang the song he wrote for his un-born little cousin. I almost cried when Jay-Z and Beyonce sang Coldplay’s Yellow to one another, and laughed when her and her sister were in sweatpants singing in their kitchen together.

I guess I loved those three moments the best because they reminded me that she was normal. Those are all things that we do with our friends and sisters when we let our hair down and just act silly. I do admit that a lot of the choreography and the replay of her performances was a little much. Those aspects included resembled more of a concert movie than a documentary. Overall, I really enjoyed it and definitely presented a more grounded and “real” dare I say, Beyoncé.

It is obvious however that fans would have liked to see more intimate moments of her looking not so glamorous (if it’s even scientifically possible), or more scenes with her and her husband or of her home, or her daughter. But I guess if I had all of that fame, I wouldn’t really want cameras in my child’s face and hanging out in my apartment.

  • She is extremely talented, works extremely hard and has earned her fame and success. However I do find this hypocritical since in every interview she speaks about privacy, which I totally understand and respect, but then why make a film about your private life? To make more money?
