- Unless you’re a devoted fan, concert films can be a rather dreary experience but the sheer spectacle and energy of the her film is enough to convert even the most rabid anti-Swiftite.
- 100Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonFilled with both spectacle and strikingly intimate moments, The Eras Tour is almost too much of a good thing — so many hits, so many memorable set pieces, so many peaks.
- 91ColliderRoss BonaimeColliderRoss BonaimeIn the end, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour isn’t just a demonstration of this mammoth undertaking, it’s also an undeniable proclamation that Swift is one of the most impressive musicians of the 21st century.
- 90VarietyChris WillmanVarietyChris WillmanFor most fans, this show isn’t so much about watching her career flash before their eyes — although there’s that — but their own roller-coaster lives. It’s sort of Broadway, kind of psychotherapy/church, and all too well-executed.
- 85TheWrapKristen LopezTheWrapKristen LopezSwift and Wrench have done something truly special with the “Eras” film and that is making a colorful celebration of music and, unintentionally, cinema.
- 80There isn’t much artistic liberty taken — at least any that wasn’t already there at the actual concert — and Wrench doesn’t seem intent on putting his own fingerprints on the film, moving it away from something more auteurist like Stop Making Sense. The mission is more about recreating the live experience as the performer envisioned it, harnessing the sheer magnitude of SoFi Stadium and Swift alike. And in that, Wrench succeeds mightily.
- It is massive, but nothing could exactly recreate the decibel-bursting exhilaration of a live music performance, particularly one at this scale. But in this format, Swift gets as close as possible — and for her, being an exception to the rule is par for the course.
