We just purchased Beyonce's Lemonade from Amazon. The DVD is included
with the "Audio CD" version. The DVD is the second disc, although
Amazon doesn't make this very clear in their description. It's the
full hour-long film, not clips.
It doesn't seem to be available as a DVD only purchase.
Here's the one we ordered:

Hope this is helpful!

Hi All,
Since the Beyonce Lemonade long-form video aired on HBO, I've been
keeping an eye out for a DVD release. I know I'll be asked to
purchase it for course use soon, but haven't yet seen anything pop up
regarding hard copy availability. I do see three libraries that
appear to have the DVD via Worldcat (and it actually appears to be a
DVD, not the audio CD which has a short video clip included as a
bonus). But, no luck finding a source. I did notice the following
today via Wikipedia
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonade_%28Beyonc%C3%A9_album%29>:
"Lawsuit: In June 2016, it was reported filmmaker Matthew Fulks sued
Beyoncé, Sony, Columbia and Parkwood Entertainment for allegedly
lifting elements of his short film, Palinoia, for Lemonade. The
lawsuit specifically targets the trailer for the HBO special. Fulks
claims executives and creatives involved in Lemonade were aware of his
work and had access to Palinoia. Fulks said he was previously
contacted about the opportunity to direct a video by the
Columbia-signed musical group MS MR and his clips — including Palinoia
— were sent to various people at the label, including frequent Beyoncé
director, Bryan Younce. Fulks further claimed that in July 2015,
Younce invited him to submit a video treatment to Columbia for
consideration. Filming for Lemonade began five months later."
Wondering if this might be a part of the delay in making this
available -- there was also a notation re: a future Emmy push that
makes me wonder if the intent is to release it as something of a
campaign closer to then. At any rate, I thought I'd reach out to the
Collective Brain to see if anyone had any possible suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
--

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues
relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control,
preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and
related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective
working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication
between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and
distributors.
