Whatever you might think about his music, there are few showmen quite like Justin Timberlake. It’s a rare feat to survive teen pop stardom and become a superstar and artist (and actor) in your own right, but that’s just what Timberlake has done, and acclaimed director Jonathan Demme (“Silence Of The Lambs,” “Stop Making Sense“) has captured some of the magnetism that makes the singer so beloved.
“Justin Timberlake And The Tennessee Kids” documents the final date of the 20/20 Experience World Tour at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, where Timberlake was joined onstage by the titular band, for an arena performance like no other. Here’s the official synopsis:
Music superstar Justin Timberlake and acclaimed director Jonathan Demme team up for a visionary concert-film experience with the new Netflix release Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids. Timberlake, along with his band – the Tennessee Kids – will have you on your feet singing along, from “Cry Me a River” to “Mirrors.” The Netflix Original Film, which premiered at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival, gives you the best seat in the house for the final show of the 20/20 Experience World Tour at Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena.
“Justin Timberlake And The Tennessee Kids” debuts on Netflix on October 12th.
