Audience Member When I've watched it I had this feeling of absolute peace and happiness Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member - timeless music; from Kanye West's magnus opus: My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy - Selita Ebanks was a stellar actress - the lines were raw, and not corny - great visuals to match the music - I absolutely love the scene with the ballerinas!!! Hands down the most creative and masterful scene I've scene in a short film, period. - it was never slow - there's a scene in which Kanye riffs off of his track POWER... and it sounds so majestic - I loved the storyline - I loved how it wasn't just his music mashed together - it gave me a special feeling that has caused me to rewatch it 7 times so far - each time I watch it, notice something different YOU GOTTA SEE THIS FILM Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Kanye West's extended music video Runaway is honestly one of the best music videos I've ever seen, beat out maybe only by Michael Jackson's Thriller and Eminem's Stan. It's more of a Kanye West's Music: The Movie, but it serves its purpose. I did enjoy the plot aspect of it, as well as the doomed romance between West and a beautiful humanoid phoenix. There's a moment when the beat drops in Lost in the World and we see West start running through a forest, and that's when we know that he is a true genius in the creative arts world. A really impressive example of music video filmmaking. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Wonderfully filmed. Not the most amazing plot, but the music and filmography is excellent. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Fantastic film adaptation of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Quite possibly the greatest rap album of this generation. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Kanye Wests musical art film... and like most music videos, its a thoroughly confused mess... but, to its credit, its no doubt a visually appealing and visually interesting one. The music is great, too, but the snippets don't get enough of the music out... listen to the album "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" and you will probably get more out of that than this film. But overall, isn't worth more than a viewing at most. 2/5 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
