Netflix has become pretty predictable lately. Maybe it's just my algorithm, only every fourth dimension I log on it feels like I'm seeing the same thing — a crime thriller, prompts to sentry Stranger Things  or encouragement to rewatch The Part for the 100 thursday time. On Aug. 28, however, something showed up on my feed that I didn't expect — a Travis Scott documentary.

Look Mom I Can Wing is a documentary, simply in name only. This is because the project is produced more like a giant tour vlog mixed with a music video. Gone are most of the establishing shots and one-on-one interviews traditional for a documentary. It'due south totally fitting for Travis Scott, seeing as sometimes his actions speak louder than his softly-enunciated words.

1 of those actions — getting arrested at a 2017 concert in Arkansas and charged for inciting a riot — is a master subject field of the starting time 10 minutes. The rapper raging on stage, walking off direct into police handcuffs, then getting out of jail and hopping straight on a private jet sets the tone nicely for the remaining hour or and then of the movie.

If Travis toned it down — even a trivial flake — information technology would drastically take away from his efficacy every bit a live performer. The mosh pits, the rioting, the phase diving; this is what his fans love, and it earned his concluding tour a designation of "the greatest evidence in the world" from Rolling Stone .

The Houston hitmaker keeps the aforementioned free energy whether performing or creating music, and some of the best parts of the film are backside-the-scenes looks at the creation of Scott's well-nigh recent anthology, Astroworld . Viewers get to scout equally Travis listens to Drake's contribution on "SICKO MODE" for the first time, unable to control his excitement similar so many fans.

The rapper'due south personal life is also put on display, something you might non expect from a guy who manages to keep his relationship with Kylie Jenner, one of the well-nigh famous people in the globe, fairly private. Look Mom I Can Fly takes you to the room for one of Jenner'due south ultrasounds as Travis jokes with the doctor, and later to their child Stormi's first birthday.

The moments with Stormi may be some of the well-nigh emotional moments in the film, but they are far from the only ones. The audience takes a peek inside Scott's childhood bedroom and goes backstage with him when he gets the news that he went 0 for iii at the 2019 Grammy Awards. Just hearing Travis talk about AstroWorld, a Houston amusement park that closed in 2005 and serves as the inspiration for his most recent album, is deeply moving.

A Travis Scott concert could be described equally organized chaos, and then too could the visuals of this documentary. I mean this in a good way. The eclectic nature of the fuzzy, square-frame shots mixed with high definition concert panoramas is amazing. The film takes you through the process of the visually-complex and rollercoaster-featuring Astroworld tour.

Likewise Gaga: Five Foot Two  and Beyoncé's Homecoming,at that place'southward a recent dearth of Netflix-produced music-related documentaries. But they accept struck gilded with this one. If you haven't made information technology to a Travis Scott concert withal, which I consider a saucepan listing item, Look Mom I Can Fly is the next all-time pick.
