Chris Brown: Welcome to My Life

We all know he did a lot of things wrong. But with this doc, we see a whole different perspective on all those situations. I will never encourage the bad things he did, but I need to give him his credit. He can sing, dance, rap, paint, act etc. Even after several big mistakes he made, he still manage to be one of the best artists we have ever seen. As an artist, I think he's the best at what he does and I think there will never be an artist like this. Hands down GOAT

As another commenter mentioned, its like 6 or 7 years too late for this. It would have been right on time had it been only about his music, but a lot of it was discussing the incident. I would have liked to know more about his creative process too but overall, I couldn't turn it off. Chris Brown is extremely talented and yea he made a few mistakes so what.

I had the opportunity to watch this great documentary at the premiere with Chris Brown. I have been a fan of Chris for about 4 years now and honestly after watching this movie i fell more in love with this artist. He really poured his heart out in this documentary. You get to hear his side about everything the media has blamed him for. He is totally honest about everything. I hope you guys go check it out it really is wonderful ! thank you Andrew and Chris of course !!!!

LOVED IT

It's north to impossible to fairly critique a documentary about any active pop stars life and outcomes with feeling the sense of judgement of being told "your a hater" or "it's made for the fans only". After seeing Justin Bieber's and even One Direction's films, I realized that these kind of films are tailor made to not involve uncomfortable conversations that may interfere with their brand. Chris Brown's Welcome to My Life isn't afraid to answer those questions, but forgets to explain why he connected with many in the first place.

For about the first 25 minutes, we get a very abbreviated how he shot into stardom, which feels too quickly rushed and underdeveloped given he had a strong 2 year run in 2005- 2007. There's no development of his creative process as a artist which is strange given this was filmed by his filming company. However, A lot of time is spent explaining "the incident", almost too much time that it gets uncomfortable how much he goes into detail of every moment. The biggest issue with Welcome to My Life is that doesn't change the perception that he wanted to put his music first as at least 45 minutes is given to his scandals and controversy, as his music is almost intentionally on the back burner.

If your a Chris Brown fan, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy this film regardless. But as a documentary where people say "there's Michael Jackson and then there's Chris Brown", it doesn't leave anywhere near the creative impact.

This Documentary starts out how he grew up and became famous. A lot of people, even himself, start comparing him to Micheal Jackson, LOL...Give me a break. You will NEVER be as good as MJ, not even close.

Then it starts playing the sad, soft background music trying to tell his side of how he beat his girlfriend. There should have been both sides. He got what he deserved. He beat his girlfriend. During the "documentary" hes making excuses, his mom is making excuses, lawyers, friends...Everyone...He thought he was hot sh*t and thought he was above the law, he found out he wasn't. Once a beater, ALWAYS A BEATER AND ABUSER. Its either in you or it isn't. I feel sorry for the person you are in a relationship with now.

Then later after he says he changed, then the Good Morning America interview happens, he punched the window so hard it shattered. Thats also what he did to Rihanna's face. Then he gets in a fight over a valet $10 ticket. Then him and Drake bust a club all up and people get hurt. There's still 26 minutes left to the Documentary but I'm turning it off. Once a thug, always a thug. I used to be a fan, but now not a chance. You need to be in jail.
