    "Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé" shows us the pop superstar onstage in a succession of incredible costumes, pulling off intricate vocal runs, busting out complicated dance moves, beaming out at stadium audiences like she's powering the place with her smile.

    It also shows her leafing through a binder of laminated documents as she bemoans the high cost of steel.

    Written, directed and produced by Beyoncé herself (she's also credited with "creative direction," just to be safe), "Renaissance" — due in theaters Friday — documents the 42-year-old singer's lavish 2023 tour behind her Grammy-winning album of the same title. The tour and rang up more than $575 million in ticket sales, according to Billboard. The accompanying movie follows the recent film version of Taylor Swift's blockbuster Eras tour that similarly arrived onscreen in a lucrative distribution deal with AMC Theaters.
