No amount of Beyoncé is too much.
The Beyhive had an extra reason to be thankful this year when Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé had its world premiere during Thanksgiving weekend. Not only did the milestone bring us that much closer to the concert movie’s theatrical release on Dec. 1, fans got to learn some much-anticipated details.
One point of concern for fans has been the inevitable axing of songs to make her three-hour Renaissance tour show more movie-lengthened. Her film’s run time is two hours and 48 minutes, with behind-the-scenes footage of Beyoncé’s “process” added in, so yes, there were tracks that had to be sacrificed. However, The New York Times’ review offers reassurance that most of the cuts come from the “ballad-heavy prelude,” and beyond that, “nearly every other song” made it in.
With Beyoncé’s penchant for privacy, it’s no surprise that the Renaissance premiere was a closely guarded affair.
