Yeah, the Reputation Tour movie is currently the only one you can watch via streaming. The other two are both available in full on YouTube. They are easy to find if you want to switch up your daughter's Taylor Swift concert viewing habits.
Somewhat related, I think it's interesting that we will also be getting the re-release of Jonathan DemmeтАЩs Talking Heads Tour movie this September. We are sort of getting a mini concert movie boom this fall.
See this is another good example of a movie that I'm just not entirely sure how to review, given that I don't particularly care for or about The Talking Heads. I'm just not really a music guy! (Which goes a long way toward explaining why I don't do musicals.)
I think that issue speaks to the question at the heart of the concert movie. I.e., what is the purpose of a concert movie? Is it supposed to be a cinematic experience or a concert experience? I feel like the purpose of the concert movie is to be a cinematic experience. The film should be able to transcend whatever preexisting affinity a person might have for an artist. If the goal is to be a concert experience, I donтАЩt think it has to reach beyond the boundaries of the artist's existing fandom. It just has to capture the feeling of a concert. If it is the latter, is the concert movie even cinema? I think those questions would make reviewing at least one of the upcoming concert movies an interesting episode of across the movie aisle.
My daughter watches the ones on Netflix on a loop, it feels like.
