This is for the Swifities, BeyHive, and Little Monsters
When I’m endlessly scouting through the best streaming services for something to watch, there’s one thing I can always rely on for a comfort watch: a good music movie. With the new movie BLACKPINK World Tour [Born Pink] now out in cinemas, I feel it’s only appropriate for me to break down my five favorite music movies (both concert films and documentaries) on streaming – all of which happen to have scored over 98% on Rotten Tomatoes, because my taste is nothing short of excellent.
The list includes all the top tier pop girls, such as Beyoncé and of course Taylor Swift. Each of these music movies blend elements of concert performance with documentary footage that brings the creative process of the artist to the forefront, giving you an insight to what it takes to put together an album or heart-stopping performance.
Music movies are something I can always rely on platforms like Netflix, Disney Plus, and Max for, whether I want to watch something that’ll educate me on iconic events in music’s history or if I just want to relive a live gig over and over again. They say that music works the world go around, and I couldn’t agree more. Netflix Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé (2019)
RT Score: 98%
Length: 137 minutes
Director: Beyoncé Knowles-Carter
When Beyoncé became the first Black woman to headline Coachella in 2018, no one could’ve seen the scale of her performance coming not to mention the cultural impact that followed which is still spoken about to this day. In addition to its accompanying live album, Homecoming is a concert movie and documentary hybrid like no other, and a personal favorite of mine when considering one of the best Netflix movies.
