Avis des critiques

Its unstintingly complimentary depiction of its subject makes this film a warming watch and a good teaching aid, but lessens its force as a historical document.

Netflix’s Becoming does not evidence taste or even fairness. Instead, it suggests the latest step in private enterprise becoming state media.

“Becoming” is not the candid Michelle Obama film that people might have been waiting for. And truthfully, I doubt we will ever see such a film in her lifetime. Instead, we get a familiar, albeit more carefree, Obama who, in her own words, learned a long time ago “to be much more scripted.”

A watchable, but carefully authorised, behind-the-scenes documentary for Netflix.
