Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero
Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero captures the mesmerising star power of the Grammy-winning rapper, singer, and songwriter as he embarks on his first-ever headlining US tour.
With unparalleled access, the award-nominated HBO documentary follows the genre-breaking artist as he navigates the pressures of his meteoric rise to fame, his desire to inspire his fans, and his place in the pantheon of Black queer icons.
“He comes on as exactly who he is: the latest star to remake the pop universe,” says Variety, “and by the time the film is over it’s hard to imagine the universe without him.”
Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero is directed by Oscar nominee Carlos López Estrada (Blindspotting, Summertime, Raya and the Last Dragon) and cinematographer Zac Manuel.
