Moviegoers are saying
This polarizing documentary about Kanye West divides audiences between those who see it as a 'major work' offering an unfiltered look at mental illness and celebrity culture, and those frustrated by its lack of narrative structure despite six years of unprecedented access. Reviewers consistently mention the surreal spectacle of watching the artist 'painted like a blue dog' discussing bipolar disorder, creating what one called 'the Living With Michael Jackson of the 2020s.'

Definitely feels like the original plan was to allow this Nico character to just grab a bunch of footage then later have a real director come in and make something of it. But at this point Kanye is so checked out he just let Nico use it for what is obviously his first real…

This documentary showed the unraveling of a mentally ill kanye, its kind of scary seeing him go from 0 to 100 and throwing temper tantrums like a child. Its sad that his manic episode lasted as long as it did because no one could intervene before he ruined his career/life. 8/10
