.LenaWaithe: Why Beyoncé's Homecoming isn't 'just another concert film'

Netflix's concert documentary based on Beyonce's two-night 2018 Coachella performance, begins. With a quote from Toni Morrison. We shouldn’t be surprised Beyoncé chose to honor Ms. Morrison before she passed. She gave her, her flowers while she could still smell them. It was as if Beyoncé knew Ms. Morrison’s words would eventually become precious antiques we all would handle with care.is.

What's most impressive about her directorial style is how unafraid she is to go from rough to smooth in a matter of seconds. It’s as if she’s jumping double dutch. Flipping back and forth between loud vibrant colors of her and her dancers performing on stage to grainy images of her quiet life at home with her family beautifully captured in black and white.

Even though the concert is a tribute to Beyoncé's career, it almost seems as if she wants to turn the attention away from herself. Just like Halle Berry knew her being the first African-American woman to ever win an Academy Award for lead actress wasn't really about her at all — it was about Dorothy Dandridge, Lena Horne, and Diahann Carroll.
