Directed by Nadia Hallgren, "Becoming" follows former First Lady Michelle Obama during the tour for her memoir of the same name. The documentary digs deep into Obama's life, moving beyond her eight-year tenure as first lady and diving into her life story outside of the White House. We see her prepping for talks and events around her book, which primarily focuses on her roots growing up in a Black working-class family from the south side of Chicago. While it's an inspirational documentary that occasionally hits familiar beats of its genre, its depth and heart make it a worthy watch.
