Washington Post
A spectacular concert documentary that also gives some fascinating insights into the making of "The Black Album."

Boston Globe
The film elects a storytelling manner that's scarily similar to the beginning of a lot of hip-hop thrillers.

Chicago Tribune
Whether a legend was born (or retired) that night at the Garden remains to be seen, but even on film, it was one killer show.

New York Daily News
A loving tribute to one of the most important figures in hip hop. From Jay-Z to himself.

Dallas Observer
This Jay-Z documentary is too much of a good thing, really.

L.A. Weekly
Routinely assembled live document.

New York Post
