Always Lalisa is a feature-length documentary following global superstar LISA during a transformative year away from Blackpink, the K-pop phenomenon that made her one of the world's most recognizable performers. As the group pauses activities, LISA embarks on the first true chapter of her solo career, confronting the question of who she is beyond Blackpink. The film follows LISA as she writes, records, and releases her debut solo album, Alter Ego, makes her acting debut in the third season of The White Lotus, and prepares for her first major solo performance at the 2025 Coachella Music Festival. Born and raised in Thailand, LISA left home at fourteen to train in South Korea's demanding K-pop system, ultimately rising to global superstardom. But forging her own path, particularly in the Western music market, brings new pressures, relentless scrutiny, and the challenge of redefining herself on her own terms. Intimate, emotional, and revealing, Always Lalisa captures an artist at a crossroads, documenting a year of risk, reinvention, and self-discovery as LISA begins to define not only her next chapter, but the woman and artist she wants to become.

7/10

Always Lalisa is a well-produced music documentary that is arguably one of the most visually appealing in some time, if a bit predictable in the inspirational path it takes.

"Always Lalisa could have gone further into Lisa’s time before Blackpink, but it by no means felt lackluster...For faithful Lillies who have followed Lisa’s journey from the start, this is the ultimate reward."

Always Lalisa is an intimate look at a global superstar told with a gentle hand that strips back the glamor and reveals a woman with the same fears, joys, and anxieties as the rest of us.

I loved everything about it. From how it shows her struggles, her true feelings of love, work, and family. Love that it shows no matter how much the old company or hater try to bring her down she will always have the best support team standing next to her.

If you love Lisa, you will love her more if you see this movie. If you are the hater, you will be so shameful to hurt little girl who has a dream. She is one of the strongest mind I ever seen in my life. She is not just a Rockstar, she is LALISA
