Drake’s Homecoming: The Lost Footage review – a squandered opportunity

Drake's Homecoming: The Lost Footage
Not so super … Drake’s Homecoming: The Lost Footage

For fans of rap superstar Drake – and of bad editing, sloppy continuity and squandered opportunity. Director Evan Kosiner’s meagre concert film boasts “lost” footage of the Toronto rapper performing to an ecstatic hometown crowd. It’s cut together with an interminably dull back story delivered in a rambling monotone by Drake’s former boss, Rap-a-Lot Records CEO James Prince. Kosiner is a self-described “serial entrepreneur” who started out in children’s TV and DJ-ing bar mitzvahs. Hype and bravado can get you far in the rap game. It seems they won’t do you too badly in the film industry, either.

• This article was amended on 25 March 2015 to say that Kosiner started out, rather than made money, in children’s TV and DJ-ing bar mitzvahs.
