Burnham is disheveled, constantly working, and most importantly, alone. The musical numbers are amazingly polished and visually stunning, but in between, there are shots of him outside of his musical performance. Although you, the viewer, know the footage has been pre-planned and pre-written, it feels so candid at times.
The special purposefully enhances the fact of Burnham’s aloneness: he’s shown changing lights with his foot as he performs, setting up shots, and sitting on the floor of a cluttered room staring at his laptop.
It was visually beautiful, had well-written music, and was an instant hit, even being shown in theatres months later. Inside covered mental health, social issues, and his own personal problems. It was created during the pandemic and filmed entirely on his own. After years spent not performing, Bo Burnham released a Netflix special on May 30, 2021.
