New trailer: JT concert doc - 100% on RT / Oct.12 on Netflix
Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids
Oscar winner Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Stop Making Sense) directs this thrilling concert doc that captures the spectacular closing performances of the pop superstar’s world tour in Las Vegas.
In less talented hands this could have been one long promo for Justin Timberlake: The Brand. In the hands of Demme, it’s pure art. Timberlake is the consummate entertainer, and watching someone as skilled as he up close and personal, doing what he does best, is an absolute joy. --Collider

Easily amongst the upper echelon of touring pop-stars. --The Film Stage

Even if Timberlake’s brand of funky pop is not to your liking, he proves himself to be such a forceful and gifted entertainer, that resistance is ultimately futile. --The Guardian
Quote:
Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids ultimately rests on not only the music but Timberlake himself, who remains as astounding a performer as ever in his multiple talents and versatility onstage. But under Demme’s gaze, he’s more man than god—an endlessly energetic man who simply wants to have a good time and encourage his collaborators and massive audience to do so as well. This is the musical expression of pure joy. --Movie Mezzanine
Quote:
Timberlake’s initial rise to fame as a member of NSYNC coincided with the height of MTV’s “TRL” — which put an emphasis on hysterical fans, and chopped live performances up into hyperactive slurry– so it’s refreshing to see him captured here in extremely long, unbroken shots, with glimpses of the audience and backstage goofing kept to a bare minimum. The performance rewards this sort of focus: After years in the business, Timberlake has developed smart instincts about how to ration out his bits of dancing and razzle-dazzle throughout the show without compromising his voice. --Variety
I would have said it's probably at least 84%. A few awkward cuts but the editing is really interesting for a concert film.
You've seen it? I haven't read too much about it because I wanna just watch it, but my concern has always been how many performances are actually in it. So how many songs are in the film? This looks great, but I'm pissed that we aren't getting a full concert film.
