Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 9/10 by Richard HarringtonA spectacular concert documentary that also gives some fascinating insights into the making of "The Black Album."
Boston Globe - 8/10 by Wesley MorrisThe film elects a storytelling manner that's scarily similar to the beginning of a lot of hip-hop thrillers.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Carrie RickeyIt mostly is a triumph of stagecraft and speaker-blowing freestyling.
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Evelyn McDonnellHe'll be back; he's already back. But that doesn't mean the ''farewell'' wasn't worth it.
Chicago Tribune - 8/10 by Allison BenediktWhether a legend was born (or retired) that night at the Garden remains to be seen, but even on film, it was one killer show.
The New York Times - 8/10 by Ned MartelEven if the film could use some trimming, its hip-hop splendor proves hype-worthy.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Owen GleibermanThe man has the right to retire, but what will he do with all the words in his head?
The A.V. Club - 7/10 by Nathan RabinBeyond offering a valuable look at Jay-Z's creative process, the behind-the-scenes material complements the concert footage, showing the work that allows Jay-Z to entertain tens of thousands of fans live.
Village Voice - 7/10 by Laura SinagraThe film has a feel similar to his songs--airtight, forthright, never spat till they're set.
Variety - 7/10 by Phil GalloSmartly directed by Pat Paulson and Michael John Warren and nicely lensed.
