What it is about
What to expect
LISA's year away from BLACKPINK is the subject of this documentary, directed by Sue Kim. At 100 minutes, it is less a concert movie than a backstage diary: rehearsal rooms, private moments, and the uncertainty that comes with walking away from the biggest K-pop group in the world to build something on your own. The camera stays close, but the movie is more observational than confessional — it watches more than it explains.
The movie is playing exclusively in IMAX and runs in English with Chinese subtitles. It has no age restriction, though younger children are unlikely to sit through the quieter stretches. The IMAX presentation lifts the stage sequences, but the real draw is seeing a performer work through doubt, not victory. The engagement is limited, so check listings early if you plan to go.
