Shawn Mendes: In Wonder

I couldn't quite figure out what their angle was. There's not enough tour footage for it to be a tour doc, not enough old footage of Shawn for it to be a biopic, etc. So that was quite confusing. I did end up liking it a lot though. If you're not interested in Shawn you probably won't like it, but that doesn't mean it's a bad movie!

5/10 - as a fan of only his greatest hits, this Shawn Mendes documentary does not delve into any real problems of fame and feels remarkably shallow and superficial

I come to this without too much too much expectation because at the end of the day, the protagonist of a whole documentary is a 22 year-old. Even if he's world famous, Shawn's still a pretty unproblematic pop singer so I don't expect too much dramas or surprises to come along. A reviewer said that the drama comes across melodramatic and I agree. I think the right mindset coming to this documentary is to not to have too much expectation, to know a little bit about Shawn's personality already (sweet, hopeless romantic, drama-free). Only then you can take it for what it is - a glimpse into Shawn Mendes' year of touring, little bit of family and friends, little bit of famous girlfriend, some aesthetic coming-of-age footage and some good jamming sessions. I do enjoy it though, as much enjoyment as you can have watching a documentary about a modern pop singer with some success.

Better than travis Scott one ngl. Like I like both artist, but the travis Scott one was like just sayin his tour and stuff, people know what happens, you can just google it, but at least this gave some special things like Shawn's relationship with camila and stuff. Not the best documentary, but certainly not the worst :/

It's sweet just safe way too safe. After witnessing the style of Billie Eilish's doco. I can't help but wonder how much better this could have been. It just felt too PG and Disney. I'm positive there was so much great unused footage that could have shaped this from good to iconic!
