Lily Allen’s about to get the full documentary treatment, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most anticipated music films in years. Amazon Prime Video has announced an untitled documentary coming in 2027, directed by Mat Whitecross, the acclaimed filmmaker behind iconic music documentaries like Oasis: Supersonic and Coldplay: A Head Full of Dreams. The film will receive both a streaming release on Prime Video and a theatrical release in cinemas worldwide, signaling the scale and ambition of this project.
The documentary promises an intimate portrait of Lily’s life and career, tracing her evolution from the“Queen of MySpace”who disrupted the music industry in the mid-2000s to the artist she is today. Featuring interviews with people closest to her, the film will explore themes of resilience, reinvention, and artistic reclamation. This announcement comes at a particularly interesting moment in Lily’s career. She recently completed her“West End Girl”album and accompanying tour, where she made the bold artistic choice not to perform her classic hits. Instead, she had them reimagined by a string section called the Dallas Minor Trio, demonstrating her continued commitment to creative evolution and challenging expectations.
Beyond her music career, Lily has also been expanding into acting, appearing in film adaptations including Virginia Woolf’s“Night And Day”alongside acclaimed actors. With Mat Whitecross directing, audiences can expect a high-quality, thoughtfully crafted documentary that does justice to her complex, multifaceted career. Are you planning to watch when it comes out in 2027?
