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

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

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.

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

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

Routinely assembled live document.

This masturbatory exercise is the least revealing "documentary" since Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian."
