Shawn Mendes: In Wonder

Don't like it. It's genuinely fake. A lot of people knows what's real or not.

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!

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!

Fans of Shawn Mendes will find lots to enjoy here. Unfortunately, there is not much in 'Shawn Mendes: In Wonder' for anyone else. The documentary only shows run-of-the-mill problems like imperfection mentality, insecurity, vocal problems, and homesickness, but refuses to reveal anything new, authentic, or interesting about the life of an incredibly popular musician. There is an attempt to add a touch of drama with a scare over Mendes' voice in the last act, but it does all come across as melodramatic rather than an actual concern. Shallow.

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!
