A release date for Lil Nas X’s tour documentary has finally been announced. Back in August, the talented Grammy winner surprised fans when he announced his first-ever documentary, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero.
The film – which is co-directed by Academy Award nominee Carlos López Estrada and award-winning filmmaker Zac Manuel – is set to shine an intimate light on LNX’s personal and private life as he navigates his popular concert tour.
The synopsis reads: “Shot over the course of 60 days with unparalleled access, the film follows Montero Hill, a.k.a. Lil Nas X, on an emotional odyssey through the creation and performance of the critically acclaimed “Long Live Montero” show.” On 9 September, Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero made its grand premiere at the Toronto Film Festival (TIFF) – receiving critical acclaim for LNX’s vulnerability and behind-the-scenes look into his creative process.
Since that fateful day, many fans have wondered if the film would be given a wide theatrical or streaming release. Fortunately, the future of the highly anticipated documentary was revealed on 4 January.
