I have very little experience with concert movies like this. But I enjoy the raw emotion that Olivia Rodrigo puts into her music and am impressed by her ability to sell out stadiums worldwide at 21 years old. So, I gave this GUTS World Tour concert doc a watch. I generally enjoyed the experience, with one nitpick that I'm simply not sure is unique to this sort of genre or not.
For a very basic overview, this concert is basically exactly what it says in the title--portraying the Los Angeles stop of Rodrigo's GUTS world tour, where she plays songs from that album and the previous SOUR record.
This is quite the high-octane, well-produced performance, with Rodrigo shifting effortlessly between her super high-energy songs and her piano/vocal ballads. Her ability to write these songs and take them on the road without a drop in quality is truly amazing--at any age, but especially 21!
That being said, I had one quibble with the entire production, that being the sound mix. I'm not sure if this is normal for these kinds of concert docs, but if you enjoy hearing fans screaming the songs instead of Olivia singing them you'll be just fine. Personally, I wish the sound mix would have shifted back and forth a bit more. Instead, it is very much a "put you in the crowd" experience as opposed to hearing Rodrigo's vocals.
Overall, though, I enjoyed this Netflix production even with my singular qualm about the audio choices. An Olivia Rodrigo concert is never dull, that is for sure.
