If you watched The Show or attended any of their concerts, you’ll spend 3/4 of the movie rewatching performances. Sparse moments of personal questions being asked to the members ends in broad, ambiguous responses (ex. “I’m so thankful for the opportunities I’ve been given.”). One two-minute-long interview with Lisa, where she broke down and showed some insight into her development as a person, was by far the best scene of the movie. Blackpink: Light Up the Sky, the Netflix documentary, provides far more insight into the members lives and how they became trainees and subsequently idols. This movie does not, and as a result the entire movie (with exceptions of a few short segments) feels like padding to get to something more substantial. Would not recommend unless you’ve been unable to watch The Show or attend one of their concerts, in which case it will feel like watching a concert on the theater screen with performances broken up by minor interviews.
