    Very beautiful performance of the perfect album for year 2020. The songs come to life with her voice and emotions, and the background info they say about each song. This is a must - watch companion to the album.

    What is this garbage? Taylor Swift is a mediocre pop artist who got her record industry daddy to give her a leg up. Her music is boring as paint and about as deep as petri dish. It's as if her fanbase has been trapped in an elevator most of their lives and never heard any decent music.

    Yup, this is like the perfect thing that we needed during this horrible pandemic, peace songs with beautiful production thanks to Jack Antonoff and Bon Iver feels. But Taylor’s beautiful lyrical words, Good good.

    This concert film completes the folklore experience. Visuals are stunning, sound productions are top-notch but most importantly, Swift's vocal performances are better than ever. It's a perfect film to watch if you want to daydream about your life or get lost in the woods of folklore.

    A coveted look into the creative geniuses behind Taylor's career defining pandemic opus "folklore " . We get to witness Taylor perform the songs for the first time ,reunite physically with her antonoff & Aaron and finally here the thinking process behind each track ,like a track by track background.

    Loved to hear Taylor explaining her each songs. Set was cozy, loved watching Aaron, Jack and Taylor talking to each other in warm & comfortable environment. I liked the part where Taylor Swift revealed who is William. Sound production was top notch, visuals were brilliant, and her voice..... Well she is music industry.

    Even though it's the same songs with the same lyrics (save for some little additions like in 'my tears ricochet' ending), it still felt fresh and new. The way exile was performed still gives me goosebumps. The Disney+ special also showcases the creative process of power trio that birthed this amazing album. An insight to the creative process of master musicians.

    Swift nos levou a uma experiência totalmente intimista e única, a simplicidade nos faz sentirmos mais conectados com a narrativa e as melodias acústicas. Esse filme/documentário só veio para reforçar o motivo pelo qual foi indicada à AOTY,seu talento e excelência no meio musical.

    I'll recomende it for fans of folklore.
    If you didnt like folklore i dont think you will enjoy this movie that much.. In my opinion this movie is mainly for fans who wants to sing the songs they love while getting inside details about them.

    “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” is straightforward and cozy. ... Swift, Dessner and Antonoff perform as a trio on guitars, piano and a handful of other instruments, stripping away some of the fussy intricacies of the album’s studio versions in a way that heightens the songs’ sense of pristine contemplation.

    A winning examination and celebration of the recently Grammy-nominated album, and a look at one of the world’s biggest pop stars at her most vulnerable and artistically ambitious. Only Swift can put out of her very best albums in the middle of a global catastrophe and release two (!) of the year’s most compelling documentaries (see also: Miss Americana on Netflix).

    “Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions” isn’t going to blow your head off, but it’s a fine supplement to one of the year’s most beloved albums, and the so-far rare chance to catch all of the songs “live.”
