BTS: THE RETURN Ratings & Reviews
See It or Skip It
Patrick Beatty
A fascinating look into a band rediscovering itself after growing apart.
The Movie Couple
Wendy Lee Szany
An intimate look at BTS's highly anticipated return and creation of their new album. One of the best parts is the "fly-on-the-wall" feel throughout the documentary, and it doesn't have the traditional sit-down interview style.
Mama's Geeky
Tessa Smith
Whether you've been ARMY since 2013 or you're a newcomer eager to get to know the group, BTS: THE RETURN is an essential watch.
But Why Tho?
Matt Sowinski
BTS: The Return is a beautiful look into arguably the biggest band out there right now.
For Your Reference Podcast
KT Mahe
BTS: The Return is a timely reflection of the transparent strategy for the algorithm instead of artistic expression. BTS broke through but an exploration of how the members felt about new bands as well as their solo success would have been interesting.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Christy Lemire
It gets close to some subversive and thought-provoking stuff but shies away... Still, if you like process, you see them in the recording studio.
Decider
Johnny Loftus
BTS: The Return is a good "get to know them - again!" doc about a band that pressed pause at the height of their stardom.
Common Sense Media
Jennifer Green
Not much new is gleaned about the band members, and scenes of them hanging out, sharing meals, talking about what fame means to them, and writing songs don't offer much to appeal to non-fans.
Mashable
Crystal Bell
The decision to introduce handheld camcorders switches the film's visual language in a subtle but meaningful way. Perspective becomes fragmented, subjective.
We're Watching What?!
Dana Han-Klein
The doc provides an illuminating, incredibly vulnerable, and (mostly) unfiltered look at the next evolution of the Kpop superstars as they put together ARIRANG. It's inclusive for non-army audiences, but also brings something new for hardcore fans.
NME (New Musical Express)
Rhian Daly
As the new Netflix documentary finds, getting back into gear as the world's biggest band isn't exactly straightforward.
Rolling Stone
Jae-Ha Kim
In Bao Nguyen's documentary, BTS: THE RETURN, the director doesn't present a sanitized version of their story. Instead, viewers are privy to meetings with management, where the members' artistry doesn't always align with the business model's bottom line.
New York Times
Brandon Yu
This is, in short, as polished as you would expect of a work about a pop behemoth, a companion piece to their new album that's less a revelatory look at the meaning of their time away than a sentimental welcome back for the group and its fans.
Forbes
Laura Sirikul
BTS: The Return serves as a great companion piece for BTS's new album, ARIRANG, offering a glimpse inside the minds of those who made it.
