Shawn Mendes: In Wonder

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!

I cried throughout the whole documentary, uncontrollably at the end. Not by how I was touched and moved by the documentary but by trying to rip my nails out during watching it.

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.

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 :/
