Leave your thoughts about BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky.
| IndieWireKate ErblandLittle of it will surprise the group’s long-time fans (or, as popular parlance now deems them, “stans”) and it will likely spark interested newbies to seek out further information, but Blackpink: Light Up the Sky does a stellar job of introducing Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa as individuals. |
| Los Angeles TimesMikael WoodHere you get a clear sense of each member’s personality — all but impossible to find on this month’s “The Album” — and of how the four relate to one another. |
| CNNBrian LowryBlackpink: Light Up the Sky manages to offer a welcome reminder that even for K-pop's reigning queens, all that glitters isn't always gold. |
| The New York TimesNatalia WinkelmanWhile its salute to the artists flicks at the cynical side of their industry, it is less a probing profile than a backstage pass for fans of the band (a.k.a. Blinks) old and new. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreWhat’s left out of Light Up the Sky is a LOT more interesting than anything we’re shown here. It’d have to be. Because even by the standards of “officially approved” pop phenom bios of the Bieber/Miley variety, this is weak tea. |
| User ReviewYahei12Un muy buen documental, apreciando el gran trabajo y esfuerzo de éstas chicas para estar donde están |
| User ReviewartsykjennieI love blackpink, and I loved how this documentary not only showed how hard they worked but how in love they are with the art of singing and dancing |
| User ReviewPotatoGirl30The documentary introduces us to them in a perfect way and gives us some information about their personal life and professional life. It's always welcomed to understand the weight of being famous and help us create empathy. |
| User ReviewFalkurasheeAn absolute masterpiece! Loved the separate segments for each member and the obstacles they faced as trainees. Jennie’s part really touched me about seeing so many girls leave yg due to the monthly evaluations and I can’t imagine what its like to lose a friend like that. If you haven’t watched it, go ahead and do! You will not regret it. |
| User ReviewWatInDaWorldAmazing. It really shows that all the girls work hard and are very talented. |
