george gipson g I'm sure there are perfectly legitimate and illegitimate reasons to dislike this movie. But what they hate the most is that it's candid and positive, as opposed to performative and toxic. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/08/24 Full Review HMSC R I don't know when puff pieces started being referred to as documentaries. This is one of the worst ever Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/21/23 Full Review Hannah J I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and I truly urge everyone to watch this. It shows such a fresh perspective into the life of our forever First Lady, Michelle Obama, who is undoubtedly such an inspiration to many with her life story and drive to make the world a better place. Their family is such a beacon of light and hope and this movie perfectly captures the essence of them & what they strive for. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/05/23 Full Review Matt M Story of a great American topped off with a brilliant soundtrack by master saxophonist Kamasi Washington! A must see! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review Audience Member It is an admiring documentary, which is neither an advantaget or a flaw for itself, but while it is good (in large part because of Michelle Obama's charisma) it could have gone much deeper into its look at such a beloved and important public figure in the history of a nation. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member "Becoming", directed by Nadia Hallgreen, is a documentary, an autobiography released on May 7, 2020, witch don't even tell only the story of the 46nd First Lady of the United States, and also not even just of Barack Obama's wife. "Becoming" plot is about Michelle. The down-to-earth and inspirative one. The strong and sometimes not so strong one. Michelle Obama, next to her essence. That's why this film is so incredible. Because it shows us that a person always is so much more than a title, an office or what people might think you are. It tells her story before and after she becomes the First Lady, in many different settings, from her humble beginning, showing that she was always a strong and positioned woman wherever she was; going through the time her family were in the White House, and how she work hard to adapt their lives in front of the cameras and all the world, but never losing their roots and sympathy; to after all of it. That's why "becoming". It means that her story is just beginning. So, with a good pace - surely leading the audience to wishing it didn't have to end -, you'll certainly be inspired by Michelle's ideas and enthused by her bright personality. But, if you wanna more, you may also read her book, called "Becoming" either. However, only in the movie you'll get the dancing soundtrack which has everything to do with Michelle. At the end, we see that she is a normal person. And, such as, if she can make the difference somehow, you and I can do it also. Between tears and laughs, this documentary is absolutely worth watching! :) Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Read all reviews
