“Look Mom, I Can Fly” delivers an exciting, fast-paced look into Travis Scott’s career before and after the release of the Grammy-nominated album “Astroworld.”

Six-time Grammy nominee and renowned rapper Travis Scott knows how to throw an unforgettable concert. There’s footage from countless concerts including crowds of raving fans, people flying off stage and flames shooting into the air as the energetic artist moves the waves of people into chaos, giving you the feeling that you could actually be there.  

 Directed by Scott himself, the film feels natural and candid. The unscripted documentary gives viewers a much closer look into the emotions of an artist who to some might come off as unemotional or detached. 

Released on Aug. 28, 2019, just over one year after the album’s release, the film doesn’t feel out of date. All the events in the film make it seem very current, which may cause trouble for fans in the future who don’t know much about the year 2018. However, the film doesn’t only focus on the events in Scott’s life but also on his role as a father and as a young artist trying to create.

The style of editing, which included nostalgic, blurry filming, really gave the documentary a flair that makes it seem much more real and relaxed. The nostalgia that Scott tried to portray can also be seen in the filming of the “Astroworld” theme park in Houston, where Scott went as a child.

The documentary also focuses on his private life, surrounding the creation of his number-one selling album “Astroworld”, which was released on Aug. 2, 2018. It also includes the birth of his daughter, Stormi, and his role as both a celebrity and father. 

The connection Scott had with his fans, and the heartfelt emotions they felt interacting with him makes this film even more special. There were very genuine interviews from fans, and unlike many artists, he understands the power of being such an influence on youth in today’s world. 

The movie also included home footage of Scott at a young age, which helps viewers visualize the story of where he came from as an artist. He has always been a performer, and seeing his dreams become reality are heartwarming. 

The documentary was exciting yet heartfelt, and for avid listeners of Scott’s music, the movie is definitely one to bring out fan’s softer sides. Scott’s passion for art is one that is, while it might sound cliche to say, inspiring. “Look Mom, I can Fly,” is one to leave audiences soaring with approval.
