'Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour' Concert Film Critic Reviews
According to Variety's review of the film, Taylor Swift's "The Eras" tour was as exhilarating to witness in theatres as it was on film. As to offering more than what the tour provides when watched live, the publication had this to say: "[Director ]Wrench and cinematographer Brett Turnbull don't avoid the obvious shots, but they also have some wrinkles up their sleeves that startle you out of any sense you're just watching those concert screens redux."
The Hollywood Reporter discussed the movie experience and etiquette that most snob moviegoers wouldn't actually experience but is unique to watching "The Eras" tour film.
"Audience members sang along and danced in the aisle and cheered so loudly I often couldn't tell where the roar of the crowd onscreen ended and the roar of the crowd in the theater began."
As much as people wanted more songs to be featured or packed on the 3-hour film, some songs had to be cut, and it's especially difficult for the team to choose which songs to bench and not to. Some songs made the cut, but some were still show-stoppers.
"It's sure to come as a disappointment to many, as it did for me, that about one or two songs from each era were sacrificed, likely for the sake of time... The decision is understandable, given the constraints of theatrical releases, but some of the choices felt a bit odd," Deadline pointed out in their rave review.
