Picturesque, artistic, musical, beautiful, seductive, provocative. This film was a lot of things-a movie wasn't one of them. It's more or less a string of music videos interspersed with dialogue from "The Lion King." I think if you view this piece as you would view a painting-a work of art consisting of images and colors that are in harmony and/or contrast with one another-then you can appreciate it a lot. As a display of Black and African beauty it was fantastic. It could be said that it's a little self-serving for Beyonce, but I won't question her motives or intentions. It's a film I can watch once and appreciate, but it's not something I'd repeatedly watch.
