Beyonce: Life Is But a Dream Reviews

Movie Reviews

• will be disappointed to find that 90 minutes of the film pass without much happening that we didn't already know

  by Carrie Battan [Pitchfork ]

• the project is mostly just a fleeting glimpse, which is ultimately a disappointment

  by Hank Stuever [Washington Post ]

• stylish and utterly opaque film that comes off less as an autobiography than a song-and-dance defense brief

  by Alessandra Stanley [New York Times ]

• old home videos show that Beyonce always has been a star, but instead of sharing some honest feelings with us, she sticks to hokey platitudes like, "My feelings get hurt like anyone else"

  by Curt Wagner [RedEye ]

• casual viewers will most likely glean the same sense of the superstar's life as one might from a magazine feature. But for serious fans of the fiercely private superstar, this remains a window into her life

  by Gerrick D. Kennedy [Los Angeles Times ]

• a film that sells itself as a candid self-portrait ends up revealing not much at all

  by David Rooney [Hollywood Reporter ]
