Me fez chorar muito, ela mostra como uma mulher pode ser forte e se destacar em um industria onde os homens são maioria, simplesmente incrível.

A look into the life of the biggest singer-songwriter of this generation, reminding us how she’s a human after all. So, think before you start spitting out nonsensical hate against her based on your own sad life and rigid prejudices.

Not a bad thing at all but this could hardly be called a real documentary.… Expand

Never seen a documentary of such a young person... unless that person died! I think Swift took an opportunity to use her platform to send a message with this documentary.

I think Swift took an opportunity to use her platform to send a message with this documentary. My feeling toward Taylor Swift is very 50/50. I'm NOT a fan of her music. Her voice is mediocre at best. Her songs are like something a 12 year-old girl would sing in the shower. That being said, I respect Swift for what she stands for and for her support in gay rights. But yeah... I think she's just a TAD overrated!… Expand

it is a good documentary, but I think it only showed what Taylor wanted, she is one of the greatest pop artists and the movie was very poor for someone of her level.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Its hard to fully express my feelings on this documentary, but I will try my best. This documentary starts well, transitions from topics poorly and ends very boorish. I came into this documentary assuming this would give me an inside look into the mind of the immensely talented Taylor Swift, what I felt I got was a basic Wikipedia or Fandom backstory, a list of "supposed" doubters and haters, and a political dog and pony show for her fans of legal voting age to immediately side with and not conduct research on. I'm not saying she cant have this chip on her shoulder, but to an outsider of her fan-base it doesn't justify the need for one and the documentary highlights that fact. I did appreciate her opening up about the sexual assault case and how her emotions felt during that time. However, that was pretty much the only decent part of said documentary. I think the way at the end she felt she was free in a way to express her political beliefs is a hard to believe since she voted twice and was obviously aware of the political landscape during both President Obama's and President Trumps terms. I think if anything this documentary is great for her fans. For non fans or critics of her work it would only add fuel towards their antipathy of her brand and image. If I were to improve this project I would have shortened the amount time given to backstory, allowed more of technical look a the concerts and fan meet and greets, explore the assault case(best part of the entire doc really showed her strength), and explore the critiques of herself and allow her to truthfully address them.… Expand

A heartfelt look into a young woman's life in the entertainment industry. Taylor Swift is a confident performer who gives her best in all she does.

It has two very distinct parts which are made up of two types of scenes. The first type of scene is pretty much just a behind the scenes clip, honestly, this was the parts I enjoyed the most, even though I’m not a fan and didn’t know most of the songs in it, it was kind of cool watching these things come together. The second type of scene is everything else, and this is where the problems start to come out. It hits every note it wants to hit and does everything it’s expected to do, but nothing more. The entire thing comes off as formulaic, like if a computer was asked to make a Taylor Swift documentary. It’s good, I couldn’t find many things outright wrong with it, it’s just that it feels soulless. But there are some real flaws in the film. It, whether intentionally or not, is divided into two parts. In the first, Taylor rises to fame only to have her reputation tarnished by a scandal involving Kanye West. In the second, she must gain the courage to speak up against things she knows is wrong at the potential cost of her career. It isn’t necessarily bad that these are the plots, it’s just that the filmmaker ties the first part up in a nice bow, and then moves on to the second one, rather than having them flow. It gives the appearance of being a 6 act film which really makes it drag around the middle, since it lost its momentum ending the first part. It doesn’t help these two parts have very different themes, the first being about fame and the second about cultural issues, this makes the parts even more separate. Some foreshadowing of the cultural themes could have eliminated this problem. And my final point, Miss Americana would be better as a movie, with actors. A documentary has limitations that stops this one from telling the story it wants to tell. I could point out multiple points in the film where a film could have done it infinitely better. I recommend Miss Americana for any fans of Taylor Swift, but there’s not much there to keep someone who doesn’t like her music engaged.… Expand
