And while the film is obviously catered towards Swift’s dedicated fanbase, its almost disruptive impact on the cinematic landscape certainly elevates the discourse surrounding what is a typically one-dimensional form of filmmaking.

The Eras Tour is a true-blue concert film which makes no allowance for backstage footage or space for space for interviews. There is no pause, let alone an interval.

...hits every prescribed, specified mark.

Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) could use some improvements in shot selections but it's one of the best concert films to be released in years.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 2, 2024

It features Swift singing her hits, with her trademark mix of charisma, sexiness, and vulnerability which made her into a superstar when she was still a teenager.

It’s a tour de force performance, an event that needs to be seen.

Is it a cash grab by an artist whose every move seems calculated for maximum exposure? Or is it a (middle) finger in the eye of Ticketmaster for their disastrous handling of Eras ticket sales? As the meme says, why not both?

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 25, 2024

All in all, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is a cinematic milestone. While it is a money-guzzling machine, there is a genuine joy to everything this tour stands for.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 26, 2023

The Eras Tour is both concert film and clearing house, a spectacle that places viewers at the very center of what has made the singer and songwriter a true phenomenon.

Small imperfections aside, the film succeeds beyond our wildest dreams at its two aims: to offer a religious experience for us Swifties, and to spread the gospel of Swift far and wide[.]

“The Eras Tour” is Taylor Swift's “This is It,” her Central Park concert, her “Blonde Ambition” Tour. It represents a very successful career and, in the process, looks like a ball for everyone on and off the stage.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 14, 2023

Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour is exactly what its title advertises: a brilliantly captured concert film that puts a well-deserved exclamation point on Swift’s dominant 2023.

| Nov 10, 2023

"Eras Tour" is a wonderful representation of the music, performance and spectacle of Taylor's fabulous show, which, as a concert, sets the bar as high as "Stop Making Sense" did as a concert film.

| Nov 8, 2023

It's a really good document of a concert. I feel like I have a sense of what it would have been like to see those shows.

It is wildly entertaining but it is also a curious product that speaks to the larger themes of our IP-based age of content – recycled, reused and repackaged spin-offs that find new, often exciting ways to extract consumers.

With its labyrinthine arc, jumbled chronology and dazzling changes of tone, milieu and costume, it’s Swift’s ode to invention and self-reinvention, the many different lives she’s lived and faces she’s presented over the course of her career.

I couldn’t tell where the crowd noise in the film ended and where the crowd noise around me began.

[capsule review] Whether you're a ‘Swiftie’ or not, if you enjoy pop music or concerts in general, go see it on the biggest screen. It's the closest thing of being there live in person. The scope, style, scale, sophistication... it's a spectacle!

| Nov 6, 2023

I did not enter the theater a Swiftie, but I can say with confidence that this immediately goes on the list of great concert documentaries.

Closing your eyes, you do almost feel like you’re there. Not quite, of course -- nothing can fully replicate the real deal -- but there’s little imagination required.
