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!

This was an unfocused documentary in my opinion. I expected more than this. Wasn't about Mendes' childhood, not much on his family or inspiration. Nothing in depth on any of his relationships or inner thoughts. Just some repetitive concert clips, a visit home and a vocal injury and it's effect on a concert. Maybe they should have just done a concert documentary because this wasn't that interesting. It needed some realness, some insights into his character or something.

I cried a lot, tears of sadness, tears of joy I can't explain how proud I am of this human. I love shawn en what he does from the deepest of my heart. Well done!

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 :/

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.
