Chris Azzopardi New York Times “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. Jan 25, 2024 Full Review Dwight Brown DwightBrownInk.com 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 Sep 21, 2023 Full Review Robert Daniels indieWire 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 Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills A part-concert, part-backstage portrait of the envelope-pushing pop sensation... Jun 25, 2024 Full Review KT Mahe For Your Reference Podcast We were offered glimpses of Montero through a willing lens and healing heart. While this documentary focused on the persona, the tender moments will be the lasting memory. Rated: 4/5 May 27, 2024 Full Review Oti For Your Reference Podcast A fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of his concerts and personal victories, supported by his family. While the film captures his persona well, it teases deeper layers of Montero—the boy, the man—that remain unexplored, leaving us wanting more. Rated: 4/5 May 27, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
