Jeen-Yuhs: Check Reviews, Fan Reactions and Details of the Other Two Parts of the Kanye West Documentary on Netflix

With a 98% audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, the Kanye documentary Jeen-Yuhs
on Netflix is made for the fans and for the ones who want to understand
tabloids’ favorite problematic artist, Kanye. The first part of the documentary
titled Act 1: Vision has a runtime of 87 minutes. It mostly follows a Kanye who
relocates from Chicago to New York to become a rapper-producer. The first part
also includes some endearing moments involving his mom, Donda West. 

Jeen-Yuhs reveals the stark difference between the old and the new Kanye.
However, Kanye’s self-involvement remained constant over the years. Therefore,
it is no surprise that many are tempted to stream the documentary, while others
are wondering if it is worth their time. So, here we are, looking at critic
reviews and fan reactions to Jeen-Yuhs.


WHAT DO YOU CRITICS HAVE TO SAY?

Complex [https://www.complex.com/music/kanye-west-jeen-yuhs-one-scene/3]
considers the 4.5 hours documentary a “Kanye West’s story- A story of duality“.
The Netflix documentary was first premiered at the Sundance Film Festival before
its release on the streamer. Shot and directed by Clarence Coodie Simmons,
according to the Financial Times
[https://www.ft.com/content/f21c8b1d-3f3f-4f92-be67-4af448b6270e], it  “shows
the gifted musician behind the obnoxious exterior.”

However, “It’s too unwieldy and undisciplined for its most effective moments to
last,” reads IGN
[https://www.ign.com/articles/jeen-yuhs-a-kanye-trilogy-review]’s review. Coodie
first met
[https://decider.com/2022/02/16/jeen-yuhs-kanye-west-documentary-netflix/] Kanye
in 1998 when he interviewed him for a public access TV Show. Recognizing the
potential in him, he decided to document the young man’s journey.

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT FROM THE LAST TWO PARTS OF JEEN-YUHS? 

In Act 2: Purpose, we will see Kanye getting his big break. Rock-a-Fella finally
offers him a contract, and he gets featured on a Jay Z song for The Blueprint.
He releases his College Dropout, which goes platinum and catapults him to fame.
Meanwhile, he is also met with an accident and is required to undergo jaw
restructure surgery. His next single “Through the fire” is also positively
received by the public. But as his fame increases, he starts leaving behind his
closest people.
