“Saying actual words — it’s really hard to do,” Lil Nas X eventually admits. Still, the best parts of this documentary are onstage, where his freedom to be himself tells its own thrilling story.

The job of a good documentary is to speak truths. The job of a music documentary is to do that and mesmerize audiences with alluring vocals, instrumentals, songs and tunes. And in this case, stage performances too... This mus/doc gets the job done.

The result is merely broad, rarely revealing any further details about Lil Nas X’s personal life, his thoughts outside of music, or any component of him that doesn’t exist in the narrowly defined line of the tour.

We were offered glimpses of Montero through a willing lens and healing heart. While this documentary focused on the persona, the tender moments will be the lasting memory.

4/5

A fascinating glimpse behind the scenes of his concerts and personal victories, supported by his family. While the film captures his persona well, it teases deeper layers of Montero—the boy, the man—that remain unexplored, leaving us wanting more.
