I couldn't get through the first 15 minutes. He says the word "like" every other word. It's like so annoying that like he talks like this because like he like sounds so like unintelligent, like. Also, he has no depth. 🤷🏻‍♂️

The performances are incredible, but this is much more than a concert film, this is an inspiring and authentic coming of age real life story, with all of the challenges and complexities that brings. Truly beautiful, must see! You won't regret it!

“Saying actual words — it’s really hard to do,” Lil Nas X eventually admits. Still, the best parts of this documentary are onstage, where his freedom to be himself tells its own thrilling story.

The job of a good documentary is to speak truths. The job of a music documentary is to do that and mesmerize audiences with alluring vocals, instrumentals, songs and tunes. And in this case, stage performances too... This mus/doc gets the job done.

Rated: 3.5/4

The result is merely broad, rarely revealing any further details about Lil Nas X’s personal life, his thoughts outside of music, or any component of him that doesn’t exist in the narrowly defined line of the tour.

Rated: C

Bay Area Reporter

By far the best parts of this documentary are the concert songs arranged in elaborate theatrical productions, glam rock with dazzling choreography and eye-grabbing costumes, reminiscent of early artsy MTV videos.

X shows spaces of charisma, vulnerability, and quiet restraint. One hopes that we will eventually get a more complete view of what those ingredients mean to him.

Lil Nas X is a wildly compelling figure, but this is not, however, the most interesting documentary I can imagine about Lil Nas X, and feels more like a vanity project than it probably should.
