REVIEW | USHER ‘RENDEZVOUS IN PARIS’ A CINEMATIC CONCERT EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER

By Rishma • On Reviews

We were lucky enough to attend a spe­cial press screen­ing at Soho House yes­ter­day for ‘USH­ER: REN­DEZ­VOUS IN PAR­IS’, and from the moment it began, I was swept up in a wave of nos­tal­gia. Usher’s music has always defined moments in R&B his­tory, and this film is a cel­eb­ra­tion of that leg­acy. From the smooth anthems of ‘Con­fes­sions’ to the infec­tious hooks of ‘My Way’ and early clas­sics like ‘You Make Me Wanna…’, every song struck a famil­i­ar chord. I found myself singing and dan­cing along in my seat, and I wasn’t alone—the whole cinema felt like a live con­cert, as if we were right there with him on stage.

Just last week, ‘USH­ER: REN­DEZ­VOUS IN PAR­IS’ premiered at the legendary Apollo Theat­er in New York City. Ush­er was joined by the cast and crew, as well as friends and fans, all eager to wit­ness this land­mark moment in his career. Now, the film is mak­ing its way to cinemas world­wide, and it’s clear that this is much more than just a con­cert film…it’s a chance to relive Usher’s incred­ible jour­ney through the world of R&B.

What stands out in ‘REN­DEZ­VOUS IN PAR­IS’ is Usher’s undeni­able stage pres­ence. He remains one of the kings of R&B, and this per­form­ance proves he hasn’t missed a step. His dance moves are as sharp as ever, his voice still effort­lessly com­mand­ing, and his energy on stage is infec­tious. Backed by tal­en­ted dan­cers, cut­ting-edge light­ing, and nev­er-before-seen cos­tumes, the per­form­ance is visu­ally stun­ning, bring­ing new life to his icon­ic hits.

This film isn’t just for long­time fans; it’s per­fect for any­one who appre­ci­ates great music and elec­tri­fy­ing per­form­ances. Wheth­er you’re plan­ning a date night, a girls’ night out, or even going solo, ‘USH­ER: REN­DEZ­VOUS IN PAR­IS’ is a per­fect escape. The cine­mat­ic exper­i­ence is so immers­ive, it’s like being at a live con­cert, you’ll feel the energy in the room, and before you know it, you’ll be singing and dan­cing along too.

That’s what makes this film so spe­cial: it turns an ordin­ary movie theat­er into a shared cel­eb­ra­tion of music and memor­ies. For those who weren’t able to catch Ush­er live in Par­is or at his Vegas res­id­en­cies, this is the next best thing. It offers fans an up-close look at not just his per­form­ance, but the work, pas­sion, and artistry that goes into mak­ing a show this unforgettable.

Ush­er is still at the top of his game, and ‘REN­DEZ­VOUS IN PAR­IS’ is a test­a­ment to his last­ing impact on R&B. Wheth­er you’ve been a fan for years or you’re just dis­cov­er­ing his music, this film is a must-see it’s a remind­er of why Ush­er remains one of the most influ­en­tial artists of our time.
