, the film follows the artist as he embarks on his Long Live Montero tour, but also takes time to reflect on the whirlwind of his past few years. Between performances, he recalls the tribulations of coming out while in the spotlight, cracks endless jokes, and finds liberation and inspiration listening to “Free” byand the queen of confessional concert docs herself,And the film ends with hints of where the artist will be going in the next phase of his career. “I want to be a new me now,” he says.
Much like Lil Nas X himself, the film itself resists being reduced to one thing. Along with opulent concert footage, the film includes details from his family life, touching confessionals from fans sharing their own journey, and Nas’ unwavering wit in the face of the pressures of fame.
But even with the film’s intense focus on the artist himself, the film contextualizes his impact. “This story is about Montero, but it’s also a bigger story about embarking on a journey to find out who you really are and how you want to present yourself to the world,” Manuel told the crowd while introducing the film, “I hope this gives people peace in their journey.”
