NXT Rockumentary Film Series: Homecoming (2019)

From the moment Beyoncé Knowles, dressed as a modern-day Nefertiti, strutted down a catwalk at the 2018 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in the first of two headlining sets, you knew these would be historic shows — that year’s edition didn’t end up being dubbed “Beychella” for nothing. Had Homecoming been nothing but raw footage of her iconic performances over those consecutive weekends, we’d still consider it one of the best music docs of the past decades. But this peek at the creation of those epic concerts, so-directed by Beyoncé herself, also gives viewers a behind-the-scenes look at how much hard work she put into this mix of marching bands, dancers and revised renditions of her greatest hits together, and the way she used her moment in the festival spotlight to shout out Civil Rights leaders, HBCU’s and black culture of the past and present. All hail the Queen B. — Rolling Stone
