I don't think these 7 minutes are among Beyoncé's greatest achievements as a recording artist or a really catchy song, but the contents here certainly elevates these 7 minutes. It's really critical against the model industry and the conditions under which the models have to live. In the end, we see a little clip of the artist as a child how she won her first contest. However, even if she was a cute kid, this somehow goes against the criticism against television casting shows for singers, which is included briefly in the film as well. Obviously, Beyoncé wants to tell us that her parents were not like that, did not force her to do anything, but somehow it leaves a sour after taste in my opinion. Anyway, apart from that a decent song and I recommend the listen.
